Kelsi Worrell unsurprisingly crushed the women’s 100-meter fly final at USA Nationals. Worrell entered finals with a 57.53 seed time, and lowered it to a blistering 57.27 this evening. She blazed the first 50 meters in 27.06, and returned in a 30.01. Although she won handily, the Louisville standout actually added 0.03 seconds from her entry time of 57.24.

Felicia Lee vaulted to a second-place finish in 58.54. Propelled by a strong second 50 split, Lee was able to overcome touching last at the first 50. Lee took the race out in 28.59, but brought it home in a scorching 29.95. University of Kentucky’s Christina Bechtel jumped three spots to finish third in 58.74.

American Record-holder Dana Vollmer fell to fourth place in 58.94. Vollmer raced aggressively the first half of the race (27.71), but was unable to maintain the same strength on the final leg (31.23).

Cassidy Bayer (59.00), Amanda Kendall (59.12), Hali Flickinger (59.64), and Kara Kopcso (1:00.00) rounded out the championship final.
