WOMEN’S 200 BREAST – FINALS – 2015 Arena Pro Swim Series

Maria Garcia was the fastest qualifier following this morning’s prelims and was also the youngest swimmer in the final. Garcia, 20, took out the race with no fear, leading the way at the half-way mark with a time of 1:10.36.
Hot on her trail was Micah Lawrence, one of the best breaststrokers in the United States at the present time, who turned just behind her in 1:10.36.

The Cal swimmer began to fade a tad and Lawrence took advantage of this, pushing ahead of her on the back half of the race to create a lead. Heading into the wall it seemed as though it was a race for third between Garcia and a charging Breeja Larson, however Garcia managed to hold off all advances and finish second behind Lawrence.
Lawrence was the winner in 2:25.75 followed by Garcia’s 2:26.43 and Larson’s 2:26.82.
