Makayla Sargent, who won the 400 IM last night, won a close 200 fly to start off night three in 2:14.60, just ahead of Amanda Ray who was second in 2:14.84 and Emma Seiberlich in 2:14.89. Zachary Brown won the men’s 200 fly with the only time under 2:00 with a 1:59.16.

Katherine Douglass dropped six seconds from her seed and nearly three seconds from her prelims time to win the 200 breast in 2:28.00. That is the first time the 17-year-old has been under 2:30 in the event.

NC State’s Elise Haan dipped under 1:01 to take the 100 backstroke in 1:00.77, about a half second ahead of teammate Kylee Alons (1:01.36) who has had a busy schedule at this meet. The Wolfpack actually grabbed the top four spots in that event, with Emma Muzzy (1:02.24) and Shannon Kearney (1:02.80) finishing third and fourth. Fellow NC State teammate Coleman Stewart won the 100 back in 54.84.

Madison Kennedy emerged victorious in a close 50 free battle, touching just .02 ahead of Maxine Parker, 25.26 to 25.38. Douglass was back in the water to finish third in 25.52 after winning the 200 breast earlier in the session. Lile grabbed his second 50 win with a 22.93 in the men’s 50 free.
