Claire Adams of Carmel Swim Club opened night two of USA Nationals with a statement win in the women’s 100-meter back. She finished ahead of Georgia Davies with a final time of 59.58 to break the world junior record and become the first 18-and-under swimmer to break 1:00 since FINA began recording world junior records in 2014. Russia’s Daria Ustinova had the record with a 1:00.24.
Davies entered the meet as the top seed with, oddly enough, a 59.58. She finished second in 59.93. Davies held the edge ahead of Adams early, but a stronger back half propelled the 17-year old to the wall first.
Adams: 29.26/30.32
Davies: 29.19/30.74
Adams time now ranks 9th-fastest in the world.
Ali Deloof took bronze in 1:00.36, while the 100-meter fly National Champion Kelsi Worrell finished fourth in 1:00.37. Olivia Smoliga and Hannah Stevens tied for fifth with a 1:00.44. Clara Smiddy moved up one spot to take seventh in 1:00.84, while Danielle Galyer rounded out the top heat with a 1:01.23.
