After narrowly missing the 100 backstroke Mexican Record yesterday, Miranda Grana took down the third backstroke national record of this World Cup Series, crushing the 2010 mark set by Fernanda Gonzalez of 2:06.76 from the 2010 World Championships with her prelims swim of 2:03.13.
Grana outperformed the likes of Phoebe Bacon (2:03.55) and Kaylee McKeown (2:03.77) to finish 2nd in the prelims, finishing only behind Regan Smith, who swam just one hundredth of a second faster in 2:03.12.

Gonzalez – Previous Mexican Record

|
| 50 | 29.71 | 29.94 |
| 100 | 30.74 (1:00.45) | 31.98 (1:01.92) |
| 150 | 30.91 (1:31.36) | 32.31 (1:34.23) |
| 200 | 31.77 (2:03.13) | 32.53 (2:06.76) |
The previous record was on watch from the start, with Grana outsplitting the nearly 15-year-old record each 50. By the 100 mark, Grana had already separated herself from the 2010 record, holding nearly a second and a half buffer.
The back half was more of the same, growing that lead to nearly three seconds at the 150, ultimately charging home to make national history.
The Indiana junior was just off of the 100 back Mexican record yesterday, when she touched 5th in 56.52, nearly topping Celia Pulido’s mark of 56.21 from last weekend in Carmel. Between the two of them, all three of the Mexican backstroke national records have been broken at the World Cup, with Pulido also cracking the 50 back record in Carmel in 25.83.
