Kathleen Baker, one of Speedo’s newest signees, won the 50 back on Thursday night at the TYR Pro Swim Series in Des Moines with a world leading time of 27.76. Baker has taken over the top spot from fellow American Olivia Smoliga, as she swam a 27.85 at the Knoxville Pro Swim Series in January. Baker was the only one under 28 here in Iowa as she finished ahead of Smoliga (28.25) and fellow Team Elite athlete Ali DeLoof (28.51).
DeLoof recently made the move from Club Wolverine in Michigan to Team Elite in San Diego.
Klaudia Nazieblo (28.87), Kayla Sanchez (29.07), Bridgette Alexander (29.07), Linnea Mack (29.10) and Kendyl Stewart (29.35) also swam in the A-Final.
