Original 100 fly report:
Sweden’s Sarah Sjostrom claimed her second U.S. Open mark of the night with a blazing 100-meter fly at the 2016 Arena Pro Swim Series Austin.
Sjostrom, who trailed by .01 at the turn, turned on the jets to win the finale in 56.38. That swim undercut the previous U.S. Open mark of 56.42 set by Dana Vollmer during semifinals at the U.S. Olympic Trials in 2012.
Vollmer, who is shaking off a bit of a bug from a few days ago and scratched the 100 free to focus on the 100 fly, claimed second in 57.61. That time would have ranked her ninth in the world last year behind Sjostrom’s world record 55.64 from Worlds.
California’s Noemie Thomas closed out the top three with a time of 58.38, while teammates Kelly Naze (58.62) and Farida Osman (59.18) took fourth and fifth.
Texas A&M’s Sarah Gibson (59.23), SoFlo’s Claire Donahue (59.44) and Stanford’s Felicia Lee (59.58) also swam in the A final.
HPCO’s Audrey Lacroix touched out NCAP’s Cassidy Bayer, 59.93 to 59.98, in the B final.
