The US finished off the Arena Pro Swim Series event in Charlotte with several wins on Sunday. The US got off to a good start when Leah Smith won the 800m with Ashley Twichell finishing second and Lindsay Vrooman making it a clean sweep.
It was a 1-2 finish for Americans in the 200m individual medley as Caitlin Leverenz and Karlee Bispo finished atop the standings. The same was true on the men’s side where Ryan Lochte and Connor Dwyer took the top two spots. The first event not won by the US on Sunday was the 200m backstroke where Canada’s Dominique Bouchard took top honors but the US did grab the next two spots through Erin Voss and Clara Smiddy. On the men’s side it was the same story with Serbia’s Arkady Vyatchanin topping the Americans, Tyler Clary and Carter Griffin.
Lilly King won the women’s 50m breaststroke with Katie Meili following her to the line 0.07 seconds later. The US won again with Cody Miller 0.11 seconds ahead of Canadian Jason Block. Nic Eriksson finished third for the US but 0.32 seconds behind second. The US only grabbed one medal in the final women’s event but Dana Vollmer finished behind Canadians Penny Oleksiak and Chantal Van Landeghem so it was a bronze. Canada grabbed the top spot in the men’s event through Santo Condorelli with Jimmy Feigen finishing with a silver for the US. In the final event of the day Connor Jaeger won his second 1500m freestyle event of the year to go along with two silvers. Zane Grothe grabbed a silver medal to wrap up the event for the US.
The final two Arena Pro Swim Series events are in Santa Clara, California and Indianapolis, Indiana both running June 3rd through the 5th.
