four hundred free the Kinsey Colby in lane number four remember she is off to Rutgers law in the fall of twenty twenty two she's swimming in five events as well so Mallory Whitman will be in a lane at number two Gaffney in one cold enough for the U. S. well represented this women's one hundred meter freestyle in the S. seven classification for all these American athletes we saw them slightly off of their best in qualifying times in the preliminary so look for big time dropped across the board here this world record holder paralytic record holder in this as well in the form of Maresca look for mackenzie call maybe not have the best start which she closes fast like nobody else in lane two right now Mallory Whitman looking very good donning the black cap for team USA and both women and Colin have shown us so far in this meeting that they're able to come from behind and keep it off the wind but it looks like that's not the case Jersey looks very good as well in lane number five with the blue caps for Italy and Wegman out to an early lead on surprising she is a gold medalist in the fifty freestyle it's gonna be Turkey first at the turn with the U. turn their interesting technique but she lost a little bit of ground to cover in their final fifty for the gold medal it's Turgeon lane number five just don't hand side mackenzie George mackenzie just a little bit everything for the Italian the twenty six year old she's not Diggs steady colleges creeping into the picture time to track down the Italian and it looks like Italy's Julia this mackenzie and we've got records because we got to classifications in lanes three and six months in Marasco everyone should have a friend like mackenzie calling sportsmanship Colin was able to track her down in the four hundred but ran out of the hole here in the one hundred still so proud of her swim so proud of her competitors so much emotion for Turkey C. I have she wasn't able to get the touch in the four hundred earlier in the meet but now was able to touch mackenzie calling what a great race all around all these athletes really push themselves to best times and because we have to classifications in S. one S. six and S. seven C. S. six is Aventine Diggs the world record N. the broad so there you see that one eleven point oh seven little confusing with the Essex's swimming up with the S. seven as we sit splaine before swimmers can swim up a classification but you cannot swim down I know there will still be just three medals awarded because this is a S. seven of that off the start here check out Wegmann off to an early lead she really gets a lot of momentum off the blocks but then it was just Turkey who ran away with it Colin stayed on her shoulder the whole time making up a little bit of ground on the turn with her foot turn but then four hundred she just ran out of pool even though she kicked into another gear there in the last twenty five McKenzie Coan grabbing a silver medal to go along with the gold that she won the four hundred free as the folks back in Clarksville getting up early three six AM dawn patrol to watch the girls bring it home in a fantastic swim but it is Juliet Percy the twenty six year old from Italy Diggs gets the win and the gold medal
