We are halfway through the first stop of the 2024 Pro Swim Series in Knoxville, and night two of the action featured many great performances. Kate Douglass was one of the major highlights, equaling the 100 free Pro Swim Series record before posting a best time in the 100 breast just minutes later.
Lilly King and Jack Alexy were among the other highlights, with King posting a time in the 100 breaststroke that would have won Fukuoka silver. Alexy clocked a pair of 48.2 100 freestyles on the day, his best two in-season performances ever.
