Tennessee’s Erika Brown had another historic swim on the final night of the 2020 SEC Championships. Brown, who won her 3rd-straight titles in the sprint freestyles and 100 fly, took down her own SEC Record with a 45.83 to win the 100 free. She remains the 2nd fastest performer in history behind only American Record holder and Olympic Champion Simone Manuel.

Behind Brown, Arkansas’ Anna Hopkin took the silver in a lifetime best 46.20. That now ties her with NCAA and World Champion Mallory Comerford as the 3rd fastest performer in history. Brown and Hopkin will face off again at the NCAA Championships, where they’ll also battle Cal’s Abbey Weitzeil, an Olympic medalist and the 5th fastest 100 freestyler ever.
