2016 ARENA PRO SWIM SERIES AT SANTA CLARA

WOMEN’S 100 BREAST – FINALS

Top 3:

  1. Sarah Haase, Stanford – 1:07.05
  2. Jessica Hardy, Golden West – 1:08.01
  3. Georgia Bohl, AUS – 1:08.07

Stanford’s Sarah Haase couldn’t quite match her lifetime-best from this morning, but still won the women’s 100 breast easily over a solid international field. Haase was 1:07.05, seven tenths off her morning swim but almost a full second ahead of the runner-up.

U.S. Olympian Jessica Hardy was 1:08.01 with Australia’s Georgia Bohl third in 1:08.07. The matchup carries some intrigue based on how competitive the U.S. and Australian 4×100 medley relays could be in Rio, but it’s hard to make any firm judgements because both nations are at different stages of training. Bohl was 1:06.1 in qualifying for the Olympics in April, while the Americans are a few weeks away from peaking at U.S. Olympic Trials.

Canada’s Martha McCabe was 1:10.89 for fourth, with Cal’s Maija Roses (1:11.17) in fifth.
