Katie Hoff (Towson, Md.) swam her sixth event of the weekend and won her first gold in the 200m backstroke, posting a personal-best time of 2:09.95.

As the top seed in the 200m IM, Ariana Kukors (Auburn, Wash) swam a personal-best time of 2:11.68 to clinch gold. Seventeen-year-old rising star Caitlin Leverenz (Tucson, Ariz.) took second in 2:13.88 and three-time Olympian Amanda Beard (Irvine, Calif.) was third in 2:15.43.
"That's actually my best right now, so I'm really happy about it," said Kukors. "I have 11 Olympic Trials cuts right now, so I'm trying to decide what to swim [at Trials], but I'll definitely swim the IMs."
Beijing-bound South African Darian Townsend improved on his personal best to win the men's 200m IM in 2.00.30. In second was Longhorn Aquatics' Eric Shanteau (Lilburn, Ga.) who touched in 2:01.06, followed by World University Games swimmer Tim Liebhold (Chapel Hill, N.C.) in 2:03.00.
