Five great swims from Hayley and Emily on Thursday. Emily swam both of her races first. She dropped a second off of her best time in the 100 Backstroke (lowering her 17-18 and Open Team Records in the process). Then she won her heat going away in the 400 Free with a 4:25.11, her best time by a second and a half. Hayley dropped three seconds in the 400 Free for a 4:21.43. That time qualified her 16th for Finals at night. She also dropped a second in her 100 Fly for a 1:04.47, breaking Kelly O'Hara's four year old 17-18 and Open Team Records.
Hayley swam even faster at night in the 400 Free, finishing third in the consolation heat with a 4:18.74. This time established new 17-18 and Open Team Records by almost two seconds and is one second under the former Olympic Trials standard.
This morning Emily swam the 200 IM. She dropped two seconds off of her best time (and the 17-18 and Open Team Records) for a 2:20.78. She will be seeded 10th at Finals tonight. Hayley has her final swim of the meet this afternoon in the 1500 Free. Coming in to the meet she was seeded 14th and has a great shot to finish in the Top 8 and get onto the medal podium.
Overall its been a great meet as the two girls have combined to break 14 team records thus far with two races to go.
