Jack Lane, who will be a freshman at Stanford this fall, swam 54.78 in the 100 fly to earn fourth place and a spot at the Olympic trials.

“I knew I had really great finishing speed based off my other performances at Juniors so far and at Nationals,� Hinshaw said, referring to his gold in the 400 individual medley on Tuesday. “So at the last 50 there, I knew that if I threw in my kick, I would be able to get to the wall first.� It was Hinshaw’s closing speed that made the difference as he swam the final 50 meters in 28.10 seconds, his fastest lap by nearly two seconds. Hinshaw followed his plan for the race perfectly, waiting in fourth or third place for much of the race, but remaining close enough to catch the

leaders in the final sprint. “I just wanted to stay in the lead pack and then in the last 50, take off,� he said. Sims finished ninth in the 100 fly with a time of 1:01.14. Acker took third place in the bonus final with a time of 1:01.92. The PASA relay team of Hinshaw, Connor Stuewe, Andrew Liang and finished 10th in the 800 freestyle relay with a time of 7:42.42. Lane swam 54.78 in the 100 butterfly to earn fourth place and his qualification for the Olympic Trials. PASA’s record-setting ‘A’ women’s 400 freestyle relay team consisted of Tosky, Julia Ama, Camille Cheng and Acker and finished in 3:46.68 to obliterate the meet record of 3:48.24, which was accomplished by Tosky, Cheng, Acker and Maddie Schaefer, who will be a freshman at Stanford this fall. “I wasn’t sure how our relays would do without Maddie, but I think we’re going to do pretty well,� Tosky said. “Julia and Rachael are really stepping in.� Both Acker and Tosky swam

their portions of the relay in under 56 seconds, times that would have been fast enough in the 100 free finals to place second and third, respectively. Finishing immediately behind PASA ‘A’ in the relay was PASA ‘B,’ comprised of Sims, Alicia Grima, Carly Reid and Ally Howe. That quartet earned the silver medal with a time of 3:50.24. Jeremie Dezwirek held a lead in the finals of the 200 backstroke for the first 150 meters, but was unable to hang on down the stretch and took the bronze with a time of 2:03.13. Acker competed in the 100 freestyle finals before her gold in the relay, finishing in 56.43 seconds to earn fourth place. Ama finished fifth in the consolation final while fellow relay teammate Cheng took seventh in the bonus final. Both Ama and Cheng failed to qualify for the Olympic Trials with Ama just missing the necessary time of 57.19 by .09 seconds. Howe earned her qualification into the Olympic Trials in the 200 backstroke by winning the bonus final in a time of 2:18.33. N
