During the Friday night finals session at the TYR Pro Swim Series Knoxville, the women’s and men’s 100 back provided the highlights as teenager Regan Smith led a trio of sub-1:00 performers on the women’s side and Olympic gold medalist Ryan Murphy threw down a dominant performance in the men’s event.
Additionally, stalwarts Hali Flickinger (women’s 200 fly), Simone Manuel (women’s 50 free), Michael Andrew (men’s 50 free), Josh Prenot (men’s 200 breast) and Katie Ledecky (women’s 400 free) each captured wins, while Annie Lazor provided one of the night’s big surprises with a lifetime best in the 200 breast.

Women’s 50 Fly
HPC-Ontario’s Penny Oleksiak held off PRVT’s Farida Osman to take the Knoxville 50 fly title, with Cardinal’s Kelsi Dahlia taking third in 26.20. Oleksiak finished second in the 100 fly earlier in the meet and is looking for a bounce-back 2019 after a disappointing year in 2018.
Osman may well have touched first if not for a poor start. She failed to react off the starter’s beep with the rest of the field after the women were held in set position longer than usual. Well behind the field at the start, Osman did well simply to come back and earn a second-place finish.
Team Elite’s Kendyl Stewart (26.43) and Athens Bulldog’s Natalie Hinds (26.69) finished fourth and fifth, respectively, while Cal’s Dana Vollmer, the 2012 Olympic gold medalist in the 100 fly, took sixth in 26.71.
Rounding out the final were HPC-Victoria teammates Haley Black (26.87) and Jade Hannah (27.09).

The win was Ledecky’s third of the meet after earning wins in the 200 free and 400 IM Thursday.
Flickinger, representing Athens Bulldogs, touched second in 4:09.75, edging out training partner Melanie Margalis (4:11.84). TAC Titans’ Ashley Twichell took fourth in 4:11.84, and ASU’s Becca Mann was fifth (4:13.96).
