I started out the meet with prelims of the 200 free, where i dropped a little over half a second with a time of 1:45.37, qualifying me for 14th going into finals. In finals I had my only bad race of the meet and ended up 16th with a 1:47.42. I then swam the 400 IM and dropped time to a 4:24.57, this qualified me for 17th in the C final, however after scratches, I moved into the B Final where I dropped to a 4:20.31, placing 11th. On Saturday, I swam the 500 free, in a preliminary time of 4:42.84, and qualified for finals in 3rd place. In finals kept my position and added a little, swimming a 4:43.62. Then, for fun I swam the 200 IM (2:04.39) and the 50 Free (23.44).
Because of preliminary seeding, i was placed 7th in 1650, and swam with the final heat on sunday night. In this event, i dropped again, clocking in at 16:19.93 in 4th place. I was extremely happy with my performance and look forward to swimming the 200, 500, 1650 free, and the 400 IM again at my next meet at the Toyota Grand Prix at Ohio State University on April 4-6 |
