2026 PAN PACIFIC CHAMPIONSHIPS
Despite Australia reaping a surprise victory in the women’s 100m free by Meg Harris over Gretchen and taking the women’s 4x200m free relay, the depth of the United States rendered the nation further ahead on the medal table through day two of Pan Pacs.
Multiple events saw more than one American land on the podium, beginning with the men’s 400m IM. Behind winner Tomoyuki Matsushita of Japan, it was Carson Foster and Bobby Finke who captured the minor medals to add to the stars n’ stripes haul.
The men’s 100m free was another two medal event, with Jack Alexy topping the field, which included Patrick Sammon snagging silver ahead of Brazilian Gui Caribe.
Katherine Berkoff produced an American Record en route to winning the women’s 50m back, with teammate Regan Smith immediately behind to capture another two medals.
Additional American winners included McKenzie Siroky in the women’s 100m breast and Quintin McCarty in the men’s 50m backstroke, in addition to the United States’ men’s 4x200m free relay.
Whereas the U.S. and rivals Australia were only separated by one in terms of the number of golds through day one of this competition, the former now has a 5 gold lead over the latter and also now possesses 9 more medals in total at the halfway point.
