WOMEN’S 100 BREASTSTROKE- FINALS RECAP – 2015 Arena Pro Swim Series

After a bronze medal in the 200m breaststroke earlier in the meet, Breeja Larson ended up taking home the win in the shorter event in a very solid time of 1:07.33.

Going out very quickly was Kaylin Burchell from the University of Alabama who touched almost dead even with Larson at the 50m mark. It was Larson however who was ahead by just three one-hundredths at the touch with a split time of 31.84.

Fiona Doyle of the University of Calgary up in Canada managed to turn in third just behind the two leaders and they all surfaced together with Larson just slightly ahead.

On the last 50 Larson flew past all of her competitors to win the race by almost a full second. Burchell was able to hold on for the silver medal clocking in at 1:08.21. Doyle also was able to retain her placement from the 50-turn with a end time of 1:08.99 to grab the bronze.

Larson won the race on the last 50 where she split a 35.49 which was almost a full second faster than anyone else in the field.

Silver medallist in the 200m breaststroke from Cal, Maria Garcia, finished sixth in 1:09.38.
