Top 8 Finishers:
When was the last time an American women held the 50 Free World record?
Omg I go to one yoga class and what did I miss! Kate Douglass, the queen that you are!
Much to savor!
Katie celebrates “America 250” with a WR!
Team USA handles our Aussie buddies 2-0 this afternoon.
Foreign fans going crazy over Buc-ee’s, brisket, free refillable drinks, and warm American hospitality throughout the land!
Soak it up!
2:03 – Smith
2:04 – Stadden
2:05 – Curzan, White, Shackley, Bacon
2:06 – Wanezek, Derivaux
2:07 – Erisman, Peplowski, Grimes, O’Dell
Disgusting
I forgot shackley goes 2:05 too
I was just doing the same thing. This stat is unfathomable, it is more than an entire Olympic final and beats the 2:08.79 Olympic final qualifying time.
Erisman a backstroker?
Phoebe’s backstroke is so inconsistent in-season, she went 2:07 only 3 weeks ago
That SS article about priming the body with a short sprint some minutes before the race seems to have proof in Peplowski’s 2:07.5 a 1.4 second pb right after her 50 FS
It is insane to look at the depth in USA women’s backstroke. Can’t they somehow psychically transfer some of that talent over to the men’s side?
