GREENSBORO- Louiseville’s Kelsi Worrell made history this morning with an electric 49.89 100 fly. She broke Natalie Coughlin’s 13-year-old record of 50.01 and received a standing ovation from the audience. She covered her mouth in shock.

Here she chats with Swimming World’s Tiffany Elias about the shock of the moment, what she thinks she can do better tonight, and how special the outpouring of praise and encouragement from loved ones have made this morning.
