The Netherlands’ Femke Heemskerk cleared 54 seconds to win the women’s 100-meter free at the Arena Pro Swim Series Santa Clara.

Heemskerk, who is tied at the top of the world rankings with a 52.69 matched by Cate Campbell of Australia, blazed her way to a 53.64 to win the freestyle crown this evening.

Stanford’s Simone Manuel raced her way to second in 54.29, adding .03 to her time from this morning’s prelims.

NBAC’s Allison Schmitt snuck her way into third with a strong 54.85 to cash a placement check.

Tucson Ford’s Margo Geer (54.92), Stanford’s Lia Neal (55.15), Colorado Stars’ Missy Franklin (55.49), SwimMAC’s Madison Kennedy (55.59), SESI’s Daynara De Paula (56.24) and Trojan’s Jessica Hardy (56.38) finished fourth through ninth.

California’s Farida Osman downed another Egyptian record, this time with a 55.66 to win the B final.  That swim surpassed the 55.85 set by Rania Elwani back in 2000 and gives Osman both the 50 and 100 freestyle records in Egypt.
