WOMEN’S 200 BACK

• PSS Record: Taylor Ruck, 2018, 2:06.36
• Trials Cut: 2:14.69

Top 3 Finishers

1. Regan Smith (RIPT)- 2:05.94
2. Isabelle Stadden (AQJT)- 2:09.32
3. Lisa Bratton (AGS)- 2:10.21

World Champion Regan Smith blew away the field by over 3 seconds. Smith’s 2:05.94 was a new Pro Swim Series Record. That’s her 3rd fastest performance ever in the event. Fellow 17-year-old Isabelle Stadden was the only other swimmer to break 2:10, touching 2nd in 2:09.32 ahead of Lisa Bratton (2:10.21).

Though it took a 2:10 to place 3rd, the top 3 times of the night were all under 2:10 and all done by 17 year olds. Shortly after the 200 IM, Phoebe Bacon returned to win the B final in 2:09.57. She finished just ahead of Taylor Ruck (2:10.34), who formerly held the Pro Swim Series Record in this event.
