After an overturned disqualification made for an eventful morning, Cammile Adams replicated her prelims race strategy. She won the second 200 butterfly semifinal in 2:07.31, nearly a second faster than she was this morning.

Hali Flickinger made a statement in the first semifinal, leading the way in 2:07.79, over a half second faster than this morning.

Sixteen year old Cassidy Bayer was out first again tonight. Adams tracked her down and Bayer touched in 2:07.97, a new personal best time and tomorrow’s third seed.

With an Olympic spot already locked up Kelsi Worrell put together a strong last half in the first semifinal. She finished in 2:08.94, a half second better than her prelims swim.

Christina Bechtel took the fifth spot in 2:09.48. Just minutes after her eighth place 200 freestyle Katie McLaughlin took it out strong and finished third in semifinal number two, good for sixth and a shot at Rio tomorrow night.

Hannah Saiz (2:10.44) and Ruby Martin (2:10.67) also grabbed lanes in tomorrow’s final.

Jen Marrkand (2:10.94), Lauren Case (2:11.17), Noelle Tarazona (2:11.21), Taylor Pike (2:11.29), and Maddie Wright (2:12.11) were ninth through 13th.

Kate Mills (2:12.18) and Sarah Gibson (2:12.20) followed.

Megan Kingsley battled through her knee injury with a 2:12.52 to touch 16th.
