She had a nice race with Canada&#8217;s <strong>Aly Ackman<\/strong>, who swam collegiately at Penn State.

Lazor was a 1:06.79 which was off her season best of 1:06.03 from May. Lazor will have a chance to chase the Pan American Games record of 1:05.64 that\u00a0<strong>Katie Meili\u00a0<\/strong>set in 2015. The Americans have won six of the last seven gold medals in this event at the Pan Ams.<\/p>\n<p>Argentina&#8217;s\u00a0<strong>Julia Sebastian\u00a0<\/strong>swam a 1:06.98 for the second seed as she moved up to 18th in the world this year. Argentina has never medalled in the women&#8217;s 100 breast at the Pan American Games.\u00a0 Sebastian also broke the South American record.<\/p>\n<p>USA&#8217;s\u00a0<strong>Molly Hannis\u00a0<\/strong>also qualified for the final with a 1:07.59. She was quicker earlier this year with a 1:07.26 in May but she will have a chance to go faster tonight. Hannis is the sixth fastest American this year.<\/p>\n<p>A couple NCAA swimmers also advanced to the final with Mexico&#8217;s\u00a0<strong>Melissa Rodriguez\u00a0<\/strong>(1:08.30) and\u00a0<strong>Esther Gonzalez Medina\u00a0<\/strong>(1:10.22). Rodriguez swam at Penn State while Gonzalez Medina swam at Texas A&amp;M. Canada&#8217;s\u00a0<strong>Faith Knelson\u00a0<\/strong>(1:08.47) also advanced to the final as she will be a freshman at the University of Arizona this fall.<\/p>\n<p>Brazil&#8217;s\u00a0<strong>Jhennifer Conceicao\u00a0<\/strong>(1:08.37) and Venezuela&#8217;s\u00a0<strong>Mercedes Toledo\u00a0<\/strong>(1:09.74) also advanced to the final.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RESULTS:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>1:06.79, Annie Lazor, USA<\/li>\n<li>1:06.98, Julia Sebastian, ARG<\/li>\n<li>1:07.59, Molly Hannis, USA<\/li>\n<li>1:08.30, Melissa Rodriguez, MEX<\/li>\n<li>1:08.37, Jhennifer Conceicao, BRA<\/li>\n<li>1:08.47, Faith Knelson, CAN<\/li>\n<li>1:09.74, Mercedes Toledo, VEN<\/li>\n<li>1:10.22, Esther Gonzalez Medina, MEX<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>Men&#8217;s 100 Breast<\/h3>\n<p>Brazil&#8217;s duo of\u00a0<strong>Joao Gomes\u00a0<\/strong>(59.57) and\u00a0<strong>Felipe Lima\u00a0<\/strong>(59.91) were the only swimmers to break 1:00 in the 100 breaststroke heats as Gomes was within striking distance of the Games record set by\u00a0<strong>Felipe Franca\u00a0<\/strong>(59.21) from 2015. Gomes was a 59.25 at World Championships where he did not make it out of the semifinals. The time for Lima was also slower than his season best of 59.56 but it was faster than what he swam at World Championships. Lima was a 1:00.00 at Worlds and did not make it out of the heats.<\/p>\n<p>Brazil has won two straight gold medals in this event at the Pan American Games since Franca won in 2011 and 2015.<\/p>\n<p>USA&#8217;s\u00a0<strong>Cody Miller\u00a0<\/strong>(1:00.28) and\u00a0<strong>Kevin Cordes\u00a0<\/strong>(1:00.58) both cruised in the heats to get the third and fourth spots. Miller was the second fastest American this year with a 59.24 from May so he will be looking to crack the top 10 in the world to gain some momentum heading into the Olympic year.\u00a0<strong>Anton Chupkov\u00a0<\/strong>is currently 10th in the world at 59.15. The Americans have a glaring weakness in the men&#8217;s breaststroke events since they only had\u00a0<strong>Andrew Wilson\u00a0<\/strong>make both finals at Worlds. Miller and Cordes will be looking to answer that call heading into next year.<\/p>\n<p>Colombia&#8217;s\u00a0<strong>Jorge Murillo\u00a0<\/strong>(1:01.03), Mexico&#8217;s\u00a0<strong>Miguel de Lara Ojeda\u00a0<\/strong>(1:01.04) and Uruguay&#8217;s\u00a0<strong>Martin Melconian Alvez\u00a0<\/strong>(1:01.89) also advanced to tonight&#8217;s final. Murillo went faster than he did at the World Championships.<\/p>\n<p>Mexico&#8217;s\u00a0<strong>Mauro Castillo Luna<\/strong>, who also swam at Texas A&amp;M, qualified for the final in seventh position at 1:01.77.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RESULTS:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>59.57, Joao Gomes, BRA<\/li>\n<li>59.91, Felipe Lima, BRA<\/li>\n<li>1:00.28, Cody Miller, USA<\/li>\n<li>1:00.58, Kevin Cordes, USA<\/li>\n<li>1:01.03, Jorge Murillo, COL<\/li>\n<li>1:01.04, Miguel de Lara Ojeda, MEX<\/li>\n<li>1:01.77, Mauro Castillo, MEX<\/li>\n<li>1:01.89, Martin Melconian Alvez, URU<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>Women&#8217;s 200 Fly<\/h3>\n<p>Argentina has had a tremendous start to their swimming campaign at the Pan American Games.\u00a0<strong>Delfina Pignatiello\u00a0<\/strong>has the 400 free top seed and\u00a0<strong>Julia Sebastian\u00a0<\/strong>broke a South American record in the 100 breast.\u00a0<strong>Virginia Bardach\u00a0<\/strong>put up the top time in the 200 fly heats on Tuesday morning in Lima with a 2:11.37. Bardach did not swim at the World Championships so this is her focus meet of the summer. She is the top seed ahead of\u00a0USA&#8217;s\u00a0<strong>Sarah Gibson\u00a0<\/strong>(2:11.78).<\/p>\n<p>It wasn&#8217;t a particularly fast heats session since Bardach did not move up into the top 50 in the world.<\/p>\n<p>Argentina only has one medal in this event at the Pan American Games with a bronze from\u00a0<strong>Maria Pereyra\u00a0<\/strong>in 1995. Bardach will be chasing the Games record of 2:07.64 that was set in 2007 by\u00a0<strong>Kathleen Hersey<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The other American to qualify for the final was Tennessee senior\u00a0<strong>Meghan Small\u00a0<\/strong>(2:14.04), who qualified in seventh place.

Gomez did not get into the top 50 in the world for 2019 but it is a season best for him since he did not swim at the World Championships. He is seeded ahead of USA&#8217;s\u00a0<strong>Sam Pomajevich\u00a0<\/strong>(1:58.19), who was a 1:56 last year. Pomajevich will be a junior at the University of Texas and will be looking to win USA&#8217;s first gold medal in this event at Pan Ams since 2003.<\/p>\n<p>Brazil has won three straight gold medals in this event at Pan Ams and\u00a0<strong>Luiz Melo\u00a0<\/strong>(1:58.76) will have a chance to continue that streak. However, he will have his hands full with\u00a0<strong>Leonardo de Deus\u00a0<\/strong>(2:00.00), who won the last two Pan Am titles. De Deus and Melo both swam this event at the World Championships with de Deus placing seventh and Melo placing 13th.<\/p>\n<p>USA&#8217;s\u00a0<strong>Tom Shields\u00a0<\/strong>will also have a chance at a medal in the final as he is the fourth seed for tonight. Shields had the fastest first 150 meters this morning with a 1:25.20 but split a 33.62 on the final 50.
