Weeks after winning her first international gold medal at the Pan American Games, Katie Meili returned to domestic waters and captured her first National title in San Antonio. Meili clocked 1:06.55 in the women’s 100 breast to take a tight victory over Lilly King, who touched in 1:06.69 for second place.

After the race − and a quick detour to swim in the B-final of the 50 free − Meili spoke to Swimming World’s David Rieder about her swim. She discussed how it felt to come back down to the National level after the international experience, how she felt the 100 breast stacked up domestically headed into the Olympic year, and her upcoming immediate plans for racing.
