She closed in 28.46 to win in a world-leading 53.04, with the rest of the field over two seconds back. Texas-based pros Regan Smith (55.15) and Simone Manuel (58.33) rounded out the top three, both in new personal bests.

Top 3 Finishers:
- Tyler Ray (TXLA) – 49.56
- Caeleb Dressel (SJAC) – 49.86
- Dare Rose (SCAR) – 50.84
In a bit of an upset, Texas pro Tyler Ray, in what appears to be his first-ever SCM 100 fly, led from start to finish and won in 49.56. Olympic legend and American Record holder Caeleb Dressel (49.86) posted the only other sub-50 swim of the session.
Ray split 23.18/26.38 en route to the victory, while Dressel went 23.49/26.37.
Scarlet Aquatics’ Dare Rose rounded out the top three in 50.84. He has been as fast as 49.14 in the event, set at the 2024 SC World Championships.
It was the first time any of the three had contested this race in a SCM pool this season.

Top 3 Finishers:
- Kate Douglass (NYAC) – 2:15.65
- Kristen Romano (TNAQ) – 2:25.82

The women’s 200m breast was dominated by World Record holder Kate Douglass, who split 31.05/34.72/35.01/34.87 to win in a world-leading 2:15.65. That’s just over three seconds shy of her 2024 World Record of 2:12.50, but it was her first time contesting the race in SCM this season.
Her time overtakes the previous world-leading mark of 2:16.57, set by long course World Record holder Evgeniia Chikunova at the Astana World Cup earlier stop this month.
