Huske’s back half split today was actually 0.09 seconds faster than her back half split from her old American record time, but she was 0.07 seconds slower than last year on her front half.
Splits Comparison:

The 55.64 that Huske swam was her second best time set in this meet, as yesterday, she led off USA’s 4×100 free relay in a new personal best of 52.96 to become the third-fastest American of all time in the women’s 100 free.
Very surprised how close to the WR. This is setting up an interesting ‘rivalry’ in the 100 Fly – this Olympic cycle is gonna be interesting.
Very happy for her. I thought she had won in Tokyo until the last few strokes, so nice to see her getting gold here.
Someone messed up the math on Sjostrom’s WR splits. It’s only time until Huske cracks that record. She’s amazing.
Such an amazing swimmer
Fantastic 5 weeks of swimming after bouncing back from a Covid experience
She is so great.
Congratulations Torri!
Torri is a beast. So happy for her. Amazing!!
