26-year-old Margo Geer had a strong 100 free final on Thursday night at the TYR Pro Swim Series in Des Moines with a 54.59. She was slightly quicker in Knoxville earlier this year when she swam a 54.09, which puts her fourth in the word rankings for 2019.
Geer finished ahead of 24-year-old Olivia Smoliga (55.05) and 25-year-old Natalie Hinds (55.26), both from Athens Bulldog Swim Club. Hinds is still early in her comeback as she came back in a big way at the Knoxville Pro Swim Series earlier this year going best times for the first time in three years.
Kendyl Stewart (55.36), Larissa Oliveira (55.37), Kayla Sanchez (55.39), Kelsi Dahlia (55.44) and Amanda Kendall (55.95) also swam in the final.
