Coming off a title in the 100 freestyle (53.15), Manuel edged <strong>Erin Gemmell<\/strong> for victory over four laps, going 1:56.70. Gemmell was just behind in 1:56.77, and both times bode well for what Manuel and Gemmell might do at next month&#8217;s Pan Pacific Championships.<\/p>\n<p>Manuel wasn&#8217;t the only Texas pro to pick up a second win, as she was joined by <strong>Chris Guiliano<\/strong>. Following up his win in the 100 freestyle (48.40), Guiliano went 1:47.21 to beat out <strong>Luke Hobson<\/strong> (1:48.99). Meanwhile, <strong>Regan Smith<\/strong> cooked up a stellar performance in the 100 backstroke, breaking the 58-second barrier with a swim of 57.78 (27.93-29.85). That win came on the back of a victory in the 200 butterfly (2:06.18) from Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>Another strong effort was produced by Carson Foster, who recorded a mark of 4:11.37 to prevail in the 400 individual medley. That win followed his 1:55.33 triumph in the 200 butterfly. <strong>Shaine Casas<\/strong> grabbed his second backstroke win when he topped the field in the 100 distance. Casas checked in with a time of 54.09, which followed his 50 backstroke win (24.67) a day earlier.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Campbell McKean<\/strong> (27.54) was quickest in the men&#8217;s 50 breaststroke, with second place taken by <strong>Luka Mladenovic<\/strong> (27.72). In other notable first-day action, <strong>Rex Maurer<\/strong> (7:53.90) and <strong>Jillian Cox<\/strong> (8:24.90) won the 800 freestyles. Maurer was second in the 400 IM in 4:14.47.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Simone Manuel Claims Second Title at Austin Sectionals; Regan Smith Goes Sub-58 in 100 Backstroke The second night of the Austin Sectionals brought a second win in as many days<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":59119,"featured_media":615980,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"dois","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[3,7],"tags":[131058,25400],"class_list":["post-646966","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured","category-usa","tag-austin-sectionals","tag-simone-manuel"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.3 (Yoast SEO v24.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\r\n<title>Simone Manuel Claims Second Title at Austin Sectionals<\/title>\r\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Simone Manuel won the 200 freestyle during the second day of the Austin Sectionals.
