The 200 IM was a great race between Japanese IM stand-out Daiya Seto and Cal grad Josh Prenot. Seto was out to a lead at the halfway mark, but Prenot snuck by on breaststroke and had a beautiful underwater coming home on freestyle. It wasn’t quite enough, though as Seto pushed hard to finish ahead at 1:58.77 ahead of Prenot 1:58.95. For the Cal grad, however, it’s his 2nd-best time ever, having only been faster (1:58.38) at the World University Games in 2015. Michael Andrew touched third with a 2:01.96.

Not bad, but not nearly the best. Maybe she can hit 23 or 22 by her senior year.
Michaela has real potential to be better than Michael. I can see her making Tokyo 2020 easily.
Good one
I guess only the Andrews can answer that, but I suspect she still has eligibility, as I have not heard she’s ever accepted money from a sponsor.
Does anyone know if Michaela Andrew still has NCAA eligibility?
