Notably, Lilly King moved up to #2 in the world so far this year as she swam a 1:05.32 tonight to tie the Pro Swim Series record.
Elendt is currently a sophomore at Texas and is coming off a solid NCAA season in which she finished second in the 200 breaststroke and fifth in the 100 breaststroke at the 2022 NCAA Championships. Her prelims swim in the 100 breaststroke made her the fifth swimmer to ever breast the 57 mark in the 100 short course yards breaststroke as she swam a 56.88. Elendt also set Texas school records in both events this season.

Just as the biggest difference-maker this morning was Elendt’s opening 50 breaststroke split, tonight she was able to improve on her speed going out even more going out in a sub-31 split. Although she was out faster, Lilly King was ahead at the 50 mark as King touched in a 30.60.
Tonight’s swim also now makes Elendt the #13 performer ever in the event in the world. See a list of the all-time European ranks in the event below.

Great time. She still benefits from her taper for NCAAs.
It will be interesting to see if Dobler and Wenger who have beaten Elendt at NCAAs will swim as fast as the German in long course later this year.
Technically she is number two all time in Europe because that Russian is a crook
