Leah Smith held off a charging Hali Flickinger to take the opening win in the 800 free at the 2019 TYR Pro Swim Series Des Moines, 8:29.12 to 8:29.96. Those two battled it out throughout the race, remaining relatively even through the 400 before Smith managed to separate herself a bit in the second half. That gives Smith the fastest time in the world for 2019.
Flinkinger did have a strong push over the last 100 to bring the race within a second, but it wasn’t enough to get to Smith. The two were well ahead of the rest of the field, finishing nearly 10 seconds ahead of third place Kaersten Meitz (8:38.98).
