After setting an NCAA and American record in the 100-yard breast this March, Aggie Swim Club's Breeja Larson has shown steady improvement in long course in recent months. Tonight, she out-touched Longhorn's Laura Sogar, 1:08.08 to 1:08.15, after both swimmers turned even at the 50 in 32.79. North Baltimore's Annie Zhu touched third in 1:10.33.
In the men's 100 breast, Longhorn's Brendan Hansen built a commanding lead and swam away from the pack with a final time of 1:01.16. Cougar's Nicolas Fink separated himself for second with a 1:02.62 while Longhorn's Eric Friedland placed third in 1:03.77.
The women's 100 back, which is already shaping up to be one of the most competitive events at Trials in a few weeks, just got even more competitive. Megan Romano of Athens Bulldog swam a 1:00.19, tied for the 12th fastest swim in the world this year and right in the mix with the top American times year. It should be a very fast final in Omaha to say the least. Romano's teammate, Kristen Shickora, finished second in 1:01.81, just ahead of Mizzou's Dominique Bouchard (1:01.95).
Matt Thompson of Stanford took home the men's 100 back title with a 55.88, out-touching a trio of swimmers in Patrick Murphy (56.01), George Bovell (56.06) and Kip Darmody (56.08).

St. Petersburg's Melanie Margalis rounded out the podium with a 2:15.28. Bradley Ally of Club Wolverine garnered the men's title with a 2:00.80. Chase Kalisz of North Baltimore was second (2:02.36) and Austin Surhoff, swimming unattached, was third (2:02.73).
Wendy Trott of Athens Bulldog claimed the women's 800 free title in 8:29.21, three seconds in front of North Baltimore's Gillian Ryan (8:32.46). Sarah Henry of Aggie Swim Club took third in 8:41.72. Connor Jaeger of Club Wolverine earned the men's 1500 free title with a 15:16.84, with Badger's Ryan Feeley (15:20.78) and SwimAtlanta's Will Freeman (15:48.18) rounding out the podium.
