Women’s 200 free
Garioch’s Hannah Miley cruised by the rest of the field in the A final with a time of 2:00.31. That’s nowhere near the 1:58 range it currently takes for a top 10 time in the world, but it was enough to cash a paycheck for the gold.
Point-Claire’s Sam Cheverton hit the wall second overall in 2:01.16 with Ozaukee’s Katie Drabot placing third in 2:01.26.
York YMCA’s Courtney Harnish, 15, also posted a 2:01 with a 2:01.32 for fourth, while California’s Caitlin Leverenz earned fifth in 2:01.69.
Ohio State’s Alex Norris (2:03.31), York’s Meghan Small (2:03.41) and Island’s Danica Ludlow (2:03.42) rounded out the top eight.
