18-year-old Torri Huske blew the doors off the first semi-final of the women’s 100 fly, scorching her way to a new American Record in a time of 55.78, lowering the nine-year-old mark of 55.98 set by Dana Vollmer at the 2012 Olympic Games.
Huske, who turns 19 and is therefore ineligible to break the World Junior Record, entered the meet with a best time of 56.69, set in April.
The Arlington Aquatics swimmer is now the third-fastest woman in the event’s history, trailing only world record holder Sarah Sjostrom and China’s Zhang Yufei.

can we do some more coverage of Torri now? She’s been an afterthought on NBC (to Curzan and others), despite dominating performances
Congratulations to her coach, Evan Stiles! Brilliant development of our next Olympian!
In every one of her races from the heats to the semis to the final, she was focused and all business. She shedded her warmups and then got to the block with one foot up on it with her head down in concentration, waiting for the starter, ready to race. Impressive.
True racer characteristics
Torri Huske posted the 5th fastest all-time performance in the women’s 100 meter butterfly.

Why does only the 1st place finisher go to the Olympics? In the past it was first and second
Because of men’s 800 and women’s 1500 there aren’t necessarily enough slots for 2 for each events
Apparently Coach Rob you haven’t been a coach very long
It’s the same standards as past years. In practice all first and second place finishers will qualify, but only the winner is technically guaranteed
