It took until the final women’s event — and the longest one — to get a meet record on the final night of the 2018 Junior Pan Pacific Championships. It was bound to happen as every other day had at least one meet record.

Australia’s Lani Pallister crushed the field in the 1500 freestyle to win in 16:08.09, breaking the meet record set by Becca Mann of the U.S., who swam a 16:11.98 in 2012.

Pallister finished 16 seconds ahead of the rest of the field.

Mariah Denigan of the U.S. was second in 16:24.35, while Canada’s Emma O’Croinin was third in 16:28.79.

Lola Mull of the U.S. finished fourth in 16:40.03, followed by Japan’s Aoi Nakamura (16:43.20), Australia’s Chloe Gubecka (16:54.80) and Jacinta Essam (17:01.73) and Canada’s Octavia Lau (17:19.91).
