Almost went the same time her dad did to win Men’s NCAA (48.2)over 37 years ago 👍. https://youtu.be/F-OPR_yoOEM?feature=shared
swimflation is crazy, 2 years ago this would’ve easily been the most impressive swim of the meet and now it’s like the 4th or 5th most impressive swim of the day
Go! Katharine! Go!
And now it IS #4 all-time….
49.0 on the relay for Berkoff too
She’s awesome. 57 this summer incoming!
About to be #4
