Day 2 Highlights
Women's 50m Backstroke - FINAL
1. Katharine Berkoff (Missoula, Mont./Wolfpack Elite), 27.28
2. Regan Smith (Lakeville, Minn./Longhorn Aquatics), 27.52
3. Ingrid Wilm (CAN), 27.87
Berkoff, a standout performer, shared her thoughts on the race and training:
"I didn't know what to expect, but I feel really good in the water, so I was really happy with my 50 back. I've been working on bringing back my underwaters, as I've been focusing on long course backstroke for a while. I haven't done enough sprint freestyle in the past two years, so I'm glad to be incorporating those elements back into my training."
Men's 50m Backstroke - FINAL
1. Shaine Casas (McAllen, Texas/Longhorn Aquatics), 24.53
2. Henry Elmore Allan (AUS), 24.65
3. Hubert Kos (HUN), 24.74
Casas, a frustrated swimmer, discussed his race and the importance of sticking to the plan:
"The time was a little slow. I remember starting off last year a bit faster than that. I'm definitely a bit frustrated that I didn't go a little faster. Last year, I didn't have a 200-kilometer training base before this meet, so I have to keep that in perspective. As I said in my interview with NBC, stick with the plan because it can get frustrating at times if you're not swimming fast."

We had our invite meet right before Thanksgiving break, so I came into this without any expectations and just got race reps in. I was really happy with that. I think having fun during my race is something that helps me go fast. I was happy before the race, so I knew I was going to have a good time."
