Hali Flickinger put on a surgical performance to smoothly advance first overall for tomorrow’s 200 fly final by over a second in 2:06.73, narrowly missing her season-best of 2:06.68 that ranks her third in the world in 2020-21.

In the second semi, Flickinger charged ahead of upstart teenager Charlotte Hook on the second 50, and then after Hook pulled within four-tenths by the time they were at the 150 turn, Flickinger picked up the strokerate with the fastest closing 50 in the field (33.11) to solidify the top seed.

Hook, a 17-year-old teammate of 100 fly Olympian Claire Curzan with the TAC Titans, took second in the semi and third overall in 2:08.08, two tenths shy of her 2019 PB of 2:07.87.

Regan Smith topped the first semi-final in 2:07.89 over Olivia Carter (2:08.44) and Dakota Luther (2:08.82), with those three qualifying second, fourth and sixth overall. Among the trio, Carter was the closest to her best time (2:08.22).
