Farida Osman broke the Pro Swim Series record on Friday night at the meet in Richmond in the 50 fly with a 25.65 to break Kelsi Dahlia’s mark of 25.74 from Mesa in 2018. Osman finished ahead of Dahlia in Richmond as the American was a 25.90 for second place. Those two were the only swimmers under 26 seconds in the final. Osman is now second in the world for 2019 behind Sarah Sjostrom (25.34), moving ahead of her 25.79 from the Des Moines Pro Series in March.

14-year-old Claire Curzan (26.18) placed third as she has continued to have an impressive meet in Richmond this week. The North Carolina native swam the fastest ever 100 fly for a 14-year-old last night and continued with another impressive 50 fly tonight.

Amanda Kendall (26.33), Aliena Schmidtke (26.52), Natalie Hinds (26.54), Lexi Cuomo (27.36) and Leah Gingrich (27.65) also swam in the A-Final.
