Dana Vollmer, the “Mama on a Mission,” showed her talents tonight. Vollmer stopped the clock in 56.94 to win the 100 butterfly at the Arena Pro Series in Mesa. That time moves her to fourth in the world this year. It is also the first time a US woman has gone faster than 57 seconds since Vollmer won the event at the 2012 Olympics.

Short course star Kelsi Worrell touched second in 57.27, faster than her 57.52 swum in France last week. That swim will move her into a tie for ninth in the world this year.

Cassidy Bayer finished third in 58.92. Claire Donahue was fourth in 59.05.

Hellen Moffitt (59.30), Felicia Lee (59.95), Amber Carter (1:00.11) and Lauren Case (1:00.13) rounded out the top eight.

Maya Dirado was first to the wall in the B final with a 59.39.
