WOMEN’S 100 BREASTSTROKE – FINALS

  • World: 1:04.13 7/25/2017 Lilly King
  • American: 1:04.13 7/25/2017 Lilly King
  • U.S. Open: 1:04.45 8/7/2009 Jessica Hardy
  • Jr World: 1:04.35 7/29/2013 Ruta Meilutyte

Top 3:

  2. Annie Lazor (Indiana Swi Club) – 1:06.48
  3. Lydia Jacoby (Seward Tsunami) – 1:06.87

World record holder Lilly King went out fast, hitting the wall at 31.08, and she held on to win in 1:06.24, which looks to be the 2nd-fastest time in the world this year behind Reona Aoki’s 1:05.19. King’s teammate and fellow Olympian Annie Lazor touched 2nd in 1:06.48, followed by Olympic gold medalist Lydia Jacoby in 1:06.87.

Those three were the only women under 1:07, but 15 year-old Piper Enge improved to 1:08.12, which moves her into a tie for #7 in the 15-16 age group.
