31 year old Peggy Gross made her Olympic Trials cut in the 50, with a split time of 23.40, then cruised the second 50 to finish last in the heat.

In the 45-49 age group Laura Val was pushed by Penny Noyes to break her own record in the 100 with a 54.21. Noyes led at the 50 but Val used superior turns and stronger legs over the last 35 yards to take the event and shave a bit off her record of 54.26.
