Trojan’s Yuliya Efimova turned in a world best in the women’s 100-meter breast at the 2016 Arena Pro Swim Series Orlando.

Efimova clocked a winning time of 1:05.70.  That swim far surpassed the 1:06.58 she shared with Japan’s Rie Kaneto earlier this year.  That’s less than a second off her career best of 1:05.02 set at the 2013 World Championships that ranks her fourth all time in the event’s history.

Tennessee’s Molly Hannis turned in a 1:07.37 for second tonight, off her 1:07.26 from prelims.  Saint Petersburg’s Melanie Margalis tied Hannis with a 1:07.37 of her own for the final podium spot, moving to sixth in the world rankings.

Gator’s Hilda Luthersdottir (1:08.10), Irish’s Emma Reaney (1:09.25), Badger’s Emily McClellan (1:09.73), Argentina’s Julia Sebastian (1:10.38) and T2’s Justine Bowker (1:10.80) also competed in the A final.

PCSC’s Ashley McGregor won the B final with a time of 1:10.40.  Jennifer Wilson wound up second in 1:10.84.
