2026 Walnut Speedo Sectionals
July 16-19, 2026 Walnut — CA LCM (50 Meters) Live Results Available on Meet Mobile: “2026 CA/NV Summer Speedo Sectionals @ BREA -“ Recaps: Day 1 | Day 2Day three of the Walnut Speedo Sectionals delivered some solid performances. Leading the way were several age-group standouts, among them Mikayla Tan, Michael Powell, and Katrin Otaegi.
Tan, 16, competed in a pair of events on day three, winning one and finishing 3rd in the other. Her win came in the women’s 100 breast, surging to a 1:09.29, more than two and a half seconds faster than the rest of the field. That time still sits over a second off of her best time of 1:08.16 from the Pro Swim Series in Sacramento in May. That time ties her for 9th all-time in the 15-16 national age-group rankings.
She also raced the 100 fly, finishing 3rd in 1:02.38, just over a second off of winner Katrin Otaegi, who managed to lower her career best from 1:01.35 at the Sacramento Pro Series in May. Otaegi, a fellow 16-year-old, managed to outlast University of Denver swimmer Julia Saxman with a big final 50 of 32.99 to hold off Saxman’s efforts in 1:01.50.
One of the top performances of the day on the men’s side came at the hands of class of 2027 Virginia commit Michael Powell, who swam to a major career best in the 400 free to take the win in the lone sub-4:00 time of 3:58.13. Powell had previously swum a lifetime best in the prelims of 4:00.49, which at the time marked a major drop from his former top time at the Speedo Junior National Championships in August of last year, when he clocked a 4:04.38. Powell was followed closely by Sullivan Benes, the 15-year-old from Desert Storm Swimming, clocking 4:00.45, a near three-second time drop in his own right from his previous best of 4:03.48 from the Western Zone Senior Championships last July.
Stanford’s Daniel Li took the win in the men’s 100 breast, touching in the only swim under 1:02 in the final in 1:00.57, also found himself swimming a career best in Walnut, slicing over a second off of his former best time of 1:01.57 from the Sacramento Pro Series just a few months ago.
