On night three of the TYR Pro Swim Series Westmont, Shaine Casas (McAllen, Texas/Longhorn Aquatic Club) claimed two victories for the second day in a row. In a grueling double, he touched out his competition in the men’s 200-meter freestyle (1:47.17) and 200m backstroke (1:58.51). Michael Andrew (Encinitas, Calif./Sun Devil Swimming) also completed a double, taking first in the men’s 50m butterfly (23.57) and third in the 50m breaststroke (27.21). In the women’s 50m breaststroke, Lilly King (Evansville, Ind./Indiana Swim Club) touched first with a time of 30.55.

In a rematch of last night’s women’s 100m freestyle, both Simone Manuel (Sugar Land, Texas/Longhorn Aquatics) and Rylee Erisman (Windermere, Fla./Laker Swim Club) started the night with the women’s 200m freestyle. Manuel took first place again, clocking 1:57.54, while the 15-year-old Erisman touched third (1:58.54).

USA Swimming National Team athletes Regan Smith (Lakeville, Minn./Longhorn Aquatic Club) and Rhyan White (Herriman, Utah/Wolfpack Elite) finished one-two, respectively, in the women’s 200m backstroke. Even with her cap falling off around the hundred-meter mark, Smith went 2:08.33, while White went 2:09.34.

In the men’s and women’s 400m individual medley, Carson Foster (Cincinnati, Ohio/Longhorn Aquatic Club) and Kelsey Zhang (Saratoga, Calif./Unattached) touched first and third, respectively. Foster went 4:09.51 while 17-year-old National Junior Team Zhang went 4:51.95 from lane eight.

Kate Douglass (Penham, N.Y./New York Athletic Club) took home another first-place finish, this time in the women’s 50m butterfly, with a time of 25.71.

Women’s 200m Freestyle – FINAL

1 – Simone Manuel (Sugar Land, Texas/Longhorn Aquatics), 1:57.54

2 – Mary-Sophie Harvey (CAN), 1:57.81

3 – Rylee Erisman (Windermere, Fla./Laker Swim Club), 1:58.43

Manuel on her race strategy: “My strategy was to get out as quick as I could while staying relaxed, then try to hammer home the last 100. I think sometimes I can be too conservative on the first 100. So, regardless of how training is going or how much long course you can get in, I think it was really important that specific race strategy helps me have my best swim.”

Manuel on her win: “It feels good. It is always a confidence boost, but also at the same time, at the end of the day, whether I win or lose, it’s about improving and getting better as Simone the swimmer. I think the result is what it is and that just allows me to go back to practice and figure out how to get better.”

Erisman on racing veteran swimmers: “It’s pretty great. I’ve looked up to the people I’ve been racing here all my life. To be able to race them now is crazy and I’ve been having a lot of fun these past few days. It’s super inspiring (to race Manuel), I will always look up to her. It’s just really motivating.”

Men’s 200m Freestyle – FINAL

1 – Shaine Casas (McAllen, Texas/Longhorn Aquatic Club), 1:47.17

1 – Lilly King (Evansville, Ind./Indiana Swim Club), 30.55

2 – Anita Bottazzo (ITA), 30.65

3 – Anna Elendt (GER), 30.95

King on her race: “It was really good. I was pretty disappointed with my 100 (breaststroke) yesterday, but it’s March, so it’s a hard part of the season. I came back and had a good 50 tonight, and that’s more what I’ve been training for. I’m happy with it.”

Men’s 50m Breaststroke – FINAL

T1 – Mikel Schreuders (ARU), 27.08

T1 – Michael Houlie (SSA), 27.08

3 – Michael Andrew (Encinitas, Calif./Sun Devil Swimming), 27.21

Women’s 50m Butterfly – FINAL

1 – Kate Douglass (Penham, N.Y./New York Athletic Club), 25.71

2 – Lilly Price (AUS), 25.80

3 – Beata Nelson (Madison, Wis./Wisconsin Aquatics), 26.42

Nelson on her training: “I came back from the World Cups in the fall, which I’ve been doing the last couple of years, and that was a lot of fun. My body was sort of in a rough place, so I took a little time out of the water because I didn’t take much of a break post-Trials to get ready for the World Cup…Usually you are sort of grinding until the end of the year. So, I was healing my body, getting back into training, and just touching base on where I was at.”

Men’s 50m Butterfly – FINAL

1 – Michael Andrew (Encinitas, Calif./Sun Devil Swimming), 23.57

2 – Ulises Cazau (ARG), 23.74

3 – Mikel Schreuders (ARU), 23.76

Andrew on his double tonight: “It was a good double. I was actually pretty bummed with the breaststroke, because I knew I could have been quicker. It was just kind of sloppy throughout the event. The 50 fly was a great turnaround. I knew I had to commit to the no breath in order to get the win in that. It was a fast field, so I knew it was going to be a training effort.”

Women’s 200m Backstroke– FINAL

1 – Regan Smith (Lakeville, Minn./Longhorn Aquatic Club), 2:08.33

2 – Rhyan White (Herriman, Utah/Wolfpack Elite), 2:09.34

3 – Madison Kryger (CAN), 2:11.44

Smith on her strategy: “I just wanted to try and race it like how I plan on racing it at Trials this summer. So attack it strong and build to come home. Granted, I lost my cap halfway through, but that’s not an excuse or anything, but it was good practice. Knowing nothing is ever going to go exactly as you want it to go, so it was good for mental toughness.”

Smith’s advice to younger swimmers if they lose a cap in their race: “Do not freak out. Take a second and tell yourself that this happens all the time in practice, and you know what to do. Let your body go into autopilot, and you’ll be fine.”

Men’s 200m Backstroke – FINAL

1 – Shaine Casas (McAllen, Texas/Longhorn Aquatic Club), 1:58.51

2 – Cole Pratt (CAN), 1:59.44

3 – Tommy Janton (Kennett Square. Pa./Unattached), 2:00.53

Casas on his double: “I’m pretty tired. It feels great, I’ve been training really hard and this is a new set for me, so I’m just sticking to the process and trusting what my coach has planned for me. (My training) has changed a lot (since the Paris Olympics)…I’m just working towards LA.”

Women’s 400m Individual Medley – FINAL

1 – Summer McIntosh (CAN), 4:26.98*

2 – Mary-Sophie Harvey (CAN), 4:44.31

3 – Kelsey Zhang (Saratoga, Calif./Unattached), 4:51.95

*U.S. Open record

Men’s 400m Individual Medley – FINAL

1 – Carson Foster (Cincinnati, Ohio/Longhorn Aquatic Club), 4:09.51

2 – Misha Lyubavskiy (RUS), 4:24.12

3 – Angus MacDonald (Woodbridge, Va./Unattached), 4:25.41

Foster on the difference between the 200 and 400 IM: “I think the biggest difference is Bob (Bowman) is a mastermind in the 400 and telling me how to race it rather than me just racing it how I feel, which is what I’ve done in the past. Following his strategy of building each 100, I liked it. It was hard, but I liked it.”
