Junior Pan Pacific Champs: Rylee Erisman Doubles with Two Meet Records; Lilla Bognar Snares Gold
It’s been a superb summer for American teenager Rylee Erisman. The 15-year-old first flourished at the United States Olympic Trials in Indianapolis, where she finished fifth in the final of the 50-meter freestyle. Now, Erisman is starring at the Junior Pan Pacific Championships in Canberra, Australia.
One night after earning a gold medal as a member of the United States’ mixed medley relay, Erisman had two more victories while competing at the Australian Institute of Sport. Individually, Erisman clocked a personal-best and meet-record time of 53.76 to prevail in the 100 freestyle. The effort marked the first time Erisman has cracked the 54-second barrier in the event and her swim handed Erisman a comfortable margin over silver medalist Milla Jansen (54.18) of Australia. Bronze went to Aussie Hannah Casey in 54.74.
Later in the session, Erisman returned to relay duty for the United States as it captured the gold in the 800 freestyle relay with a meet-record performance of 7:53.56. That time bettered the United States’ previous meet standard of 7:54.70, which was established in 2022. Team USA was fueled by Kennedi Dobson (1:57.79), Erisman (1:59.10), Teagan O’Dell (1:58.19) and Madi Mintenko (1:58.48). Canada (8:02.77) and Australia (8:02.99) completed the podium.
The U.S. added two more gold medals on Night Two as Lilla Bognar went 4:40.06 to win the 400 individual medley. After trailing early, Bognar took the lead on the first length of backstroke and never looked back. She was followed to the wall by Japan’s Misuzu Nagaoka (4:41.57). Meanwhile, the United States’ men’s 800 freestyle relay topped the field when the foursome of Luka Mijatovic (1:48.66), Norvin Clontz (1:49.37), Gregg Enoch (1:48.68) and Jason Zhao (1:49.11) combined for a mark of 7:15.82. Australia followed in 7:17.66.
Japan enjoyed a big evening, marked by three titles. In the 100 breaststroke events, Kotomi Kato (1:07.45) and Shin Ohashi (1:01.08) were triumphant. Ohashi engaged in a three-way duel in the men’s event, where American Campbell McKean was the silver medalist in 1:01.13, with bronze medalist Oliver Dawson going 1:01.27 for Canada. Japan’s Asaki Nishikawa also claimed gold, as he edged hard-charging American Luke Ellis in the 400 individual medley. Nishikawa touched the wall in 4:16.64, with Ellis right behind in 4:16.84 and Enoch going 4:20.46 for the bronze medal.
South Korea broke into the gold-medal standings when Youngbeom Kim won the men’s 100 freestyle in 48.66, ahead of shared silver between Australian Marcus Da Silva and Canada’s Laon Kim, who both went 49.37.
