In the women’s 50 free final, Kelsi Worrell out-touched Lia Neal by .01 in the event on Saturday night in Santa Clara. Worrell swam a 25.11 to out-touch Neal at 25.12. Cal’s Abbey Weitzeil was third in the race at 25.25. Worrell won the race without Olympic silver medalist Simone Manuel who scratched this morning before prelims. Worrell or Neal would be valuable assets for the US on the 4×100 free relay moving forward if they end up making the team in Indianapolis.
Katrina Konopka (25.31), Farida Osman (25.42), Marta Ciesla (25.65), Rebecca Millard (25.69), Amy Bilquist (25.71) and Caroline Baldwin (25.75) also swam in the A-Final.
