Last month at the NCAA Championships, Sweden native Louise Hansson joined Louisville grad Kelsi Dahlia as the only other swimmer to break 50 seconds in the 100 SCY fly. The two met for the first time in a matchup of all-time greats as Dahlia got the upper hand on Thursday night at the TYR Mesa Pro Swim Series with a 58.09 over Hansson’s 58.62.
Hansson led at the 50 but could not hold off Dahlia’s closing speed.
New Team Elite member Hellen Moffitt finished in third at 58.78 ahead of Louisville’s Mallory Comerford (59.34).
Aliena Schmidtke (1:00.17), Isabella Paez (1:00.80), Sarah Gibson (1:00.84) and Ruby Martin (1:01.18) also swam in the A-final.
