Missouri Recap – 4th in 200 BR

I was overall pretty happy with how the meet went in Missouri this past weekend. Saturday night, I swam both the 100 and 200 Breast in the A finals and was on my goal times for both. I finished up with an eighth place finish in the 100 going 1:03.93 (out in 29.93) which is one of my fastest in-season times. I finished off the night with a fourth place finish in the 200 breast in a 2:19.45 taking it out much faster like I promised in a 31.34 and 1:07.33 at the 100. Both of these times were encouraging for me and rank me in the top 25 in the world early on in the 2011 season where I hope to stay in those rankings.

Sunday, I got to swim the 200 IM in an A final after some scratches which rarely happens for me anymore since I have focused on breaststroke mainly after college. But I swam to a seventh place finish in a 2:10.19 which was alright for me too. I will look to improve on these performances at the next Grand Prix meet in Indianapolis on March 3-5. So stay tuned for more updates concerning this as it approaches.
