In the last event of the evening at Speedo Sectionals in Columbia, Dominique Bouchard obliterated the 200 backstroke field with a speedy 2:10.01. The 2016 Canadian Olympian, though nearly two seconds off her entry time, won the event by eight seconds. The race for second, however, was a tight one, with Edwardsville YMCA’s Bailey Grinter edging out Erin Oeltjen by .02. Their times were 2:18.12 and 2:18.14, respectively.
The night kicked off with the final heats of the 800 freestyle for both men and women. Empire Swim Club’s Christine Blomquist handily won the event in 9:00.19. Kelsie Walker of Southern Illinois University took second in 9:05.99, while Rockwood’s Jordan Stout was third in 9:07.17. On the men’s side, Minki Kang out of Missouri State also took home a big win in 8:11.46, with Razorback Aquatic Club’s Antonio Thomas in second, six seconds behind in 8:17.84.
