Katie Grimes, Claire Weinstein Lead Big Night For Sandpipers At Fran Crippen Swim Meet Of Champions<\/strong><\/p>\n

While many of the top United States stars are in Illinois this weekend for the latest TYR Pro Series stop<\/a>, the Sandpipers of Nevada have opted to compete at the annual Fran Crippen Swim Meet of Champions in Southern California. And during Friday night\u2019s action, Katie<\/strong> Grimes<\/strong> and Claire Weinstein<\/strong> turned in superb performances at the Marguerite Aquatic Center.<\/p>\n

Racing the 200-meter butterfly, Grimes continued to display her wide range of talent by winning the event in a career-best time of 2:08.77. The 17-year-old Olympian and World Championships medalist won by more than a second over teammate Bella Sims<\/strong>, who touched the wall in 2:10.36. Weinstein was third in 2:13.17.<\/p>\n

Weinstein, however, was the top performer in the 400 freestyle, where she logged a personal best of 4:06.70. A National Team member, the 16-year-old showed she is progressing toward the World Championships Trials in fine form, as she placed ahead of Sims. A University of Florida recruit, Sims was strong in 4:08.41.<\/p>\n

In Saturday action, Grimes is slated to contest the 200 freestyle and 400 individual medley. Grimes is the reigning silver medalist from the World Champs in the 400 IM<\/a>. Sims is also entered in both events, and given her time in the 400 free, something stellar could be in the mix in the 200 freestyle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
