\nCOLLEGE STATION, Texas, March 20. THE 200 fly turned into the closest race of the meet, with the top five finishers separated only by half a second.<\/p>\n
At the end it was Georgia\u2019s Mary Descenza, repeating as champion s her 2:06.02 sliced 2-hundredths of a second off Liu Limin\u2019s NCAA record from four years ago.<\/p>\n
Kaitlin Sandeno just missed in her bid for three titles, taking second in 2:06.07. Arizona frosh Whitney Myers was third in 2:06.33.<\/p>\n
Dana Kirk, who led at the 100 (1:00.09) was fourth (2:06.54) and Emily Mason fifth (2:06.57).<\/p>\n
