Jessica Hardy pulled ahead towards the middle of the pool to separate herself from the other swimmers. She finished first with a new national meet record time of 30.12. That should add her to the World Championship Team roster in 2015. Breeja Larson finished second with her time of 30.64. SwimMAC teammates Micah Lawrence and Katie Meili tied for third place at 31.00.
Kasey Carlson added a fifth place finish with her time of 31.02, followed by Kaylin Burchell in sixth with her time of 31.22.
Bethany Galat finished seventh with her time of 31.44 and Molly Hannis was eighth at 31.61.
From the outside lane, Lilly King reached in to out-touch the field with her B-final winning time of 31.18. Emma Reaney finished second with her time of 31.47.
Nikol Popov won the C-final of the women’s 50 breaststroke with her time of 31.97.
I am not at all one to objectify women, so at risk of being untoward: in addition to being a bada$$ competitor and ostensibly quite intelligent, Jessica is very, very attractive. I guess what I’m saying is: she fine. Straight up fine. And what swimmer has skin like that–someone give her a moisturizer contract. Swim fast, pretty lady!
