Mission Viejo’s Annie Lazor added to her win in the 100 breast with a sterling swim in the 200 breast. Lazor and Kierra Smith were virtually tied at the 100 before Lazor turned it on to distance herself on the third 50.

Lazor held on down the stretch to hit the wall first in 2:22.99 to beat her lifetime best from the first stop of the 2019 TYR Pro Swim Series that had also stood as the #1 time in the world for 2019.

Smith held on for second in 2:24.41, just ahead of American Bethany Galat (2:25.66).
