17-year-old Sebastian Smith of Patriot Swim Team pulled off the upset of the evening on Day 2 of Senior Mets Summer Championships at the Nassau County Aquatic Center. Swimming in the final of the men’s 100 fly, Smith clocked a 55.01 to win by .6 and improve his lifetime best, which he had established just two short months ago, by 3.58 seconds. Entered as the 13th seed with 58.59, Smith went 55.93 in prelims to tie for 1st place with Phoenix Aquatic Club’s Hudson Tritter before knocking out his 55.01 in the final. Tritter swam an impressive race, himself. He came into the meet seeded 7th in the fly with 57.83 and wound up in 2nd place with 55.62 in finals. 4th-place finisher Sean Byman of Phoenix was seeded 58th (1:01.45); he finished 4th with 57.26. Squeezed in at 3rd was Queens Aquatic Club’s Conor Mullin (57.08).
Smith had another huge performance in the 100 breast. Seeded 18th with 1:10.17, he posted the 5th time in prelims (1:06.53) before finishing 5th in the final with a new PB of 1:06.20.
