American\u00a0Madisyn Cox\u00a0<\/strong>posted her fastest time of the season in the 200 IM on Saturday night at the TYR Pro Swim Series in Richmond with a 2:10.27. Cox was a 2:10.29 in January and currently sits seventh in the world rankings for 2019. Cox will not be swimming at a major meet later this summer after she served a doping suspension last year that ended up being overturned.<\/p>\n

Cox was well in front of the American Record holder in yards in\u00a0Ella Eastin<\/strong>, who just finished her senior year at Stanford. Eastin was second tonight with a 2:11.68. Eastin was second at NCAAs last month in the 200 IM and has now entered the professional world of swimming.<\/p>\n

There were four total Stanford swimmers in the A-Final tonight with\u00a0Katie Ledecky\u00a0<\/strong>(2:14.45),\u00a0Katie Drabot\u00a0<\/strong>(2:14.46) and\u00a0Brooke Forde\u00a0<\/strong>(2:14.91) placing third, fourth and fifth behind Eastin in second. Drabot and Eastin will be returning in the fall for their senior and junior years respectively while Eastin and Ledecky will be swimming pro this coming year.<\/p>\n

Emily Escobedo\u00a0<\/strong>(2:15.24),\u00a0Bethany Galat\u00a0<\/strong>(2:16.47) and\u00a0Lauren Barber\u00a0<\/strong>(2:17.63) also swam in the A-Final.<\/p>\n
