OLYMPIC bronze medalist Caitlin Leverenz finally punched her ticket to Barcelona with a victory in the women&#039;s 200-meter IM to close out the U.S. Nationals and World Championship Trials for the Golden Bear.<\/p>\n<p>Leverenz blasted a time of 2:10.13 for the win, moving to fourth in the world rankings in the process.  That swim put her behind only Alicia Coutts (2:08.63), Ye Shiwen (2:09.08), and Katinka Hosszu (2:09.75) so far this year.  Also, she has more in the tank heading into Barcelona as she clocked a sterling lifetime best of 2:08.95 at the 2012 London Games.  <\/p>\n<p>It took all week for Leverenz to make the team, but she pulled it off at the end of the day.  It also didn&#039;t hurt that Missy Franklin and Elizabeth Pelton both elected to not compete in the event.<\/p>\n<p>Seven-year National Team veteran Elizabeth Beisel of BlueFish took down the second spot on the Barcelona squad with a second-place time of 2:12.11.  Look for the 400 IM Olympic silver medalist to ratchet her performance up in a month at Worlds.<\/p>\n<p>Saint Petersburg&#039;s Melanie Margalis finished third overall in 2:12.34, lowering her lifetime best of 2:13.26 from last summer&#039;s U.S. Open. Pleasanton&#039;s Celina Li (2:12.73), Gulliver&#039;s Jana Mangimelli (2:12.75), T2&#039;s Justine Mueller (2:14.03), PASA&#039;s Jasmine Tosky (2:15.00) and Athens Bulldog Shannon Vreeland (2:15.68) also vied for the national title. <\/p>\n<p>Longhorn&#039;s Karlee Bispo raced to the B final win in 2:14.62, two seconds off her season and lifetime best of 2:12.49 from the Austin stop of the Arena Grand Prix. <\/p>\n<p>BlueFish&#039;s Brooke Zeiger put together a 2:17.20 to capture the C final.  She&#039;s been much faster this year with a 2:15.40 lifetime best at the Charlotte UltraSwim, but has been putting in some extra duty this week with relay swims.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Coverage proudly sponsored by ArenaUSA.
