USA’s Maxine Parker moved up two more spots in the 17-18 50m free rankings with her finals swim in Budapest. Her time of 24.75 was a 0.21 second drop from her semi-final swim on Saturday, and now puts her behind only Simone Manuel’s time of 24.56 on the all-time list.
Parker came into the meet with a seed time of 25.21, which she went at the 2019 U.S. Nationals, meaning she has dropped almost a half second throughout the course of this meet.
Parker finished 0.04 seconds behind teammate Gretchen Walsh and 0.18 ahead of Australia’s Meg Harris. All three of the top finishers went sub-25.

Would also like to know. She looks over 6ft.
Shouldn’t Grace Cooper be 6th in World 18under?
Think that might have gotten her on to the National team
Should the headline not read “Second Fastest US 17-18 50 Freestyler”?
Yes
