Kelsi Worrell added another event to her World Championship schedule with a 100 fly win on Thursday night in Indianapolis. Worrell swam a 57.38 to win the event ahead of Texas A&M’s Sarah Gibson at 57.96 and Louisville teammate Mallory Comerford at 57.97.

Worrell and Gibson will be swimming in their first World Championships in Budapest this summer. Gibson was just shy of getting a spot on the team in the 200 fly on Tuesday night and just out-touched Comerford here to make her first team. Worrell is still ranked eighth in the world for 2017. She will be looking to improve on her swim in Rio last year after she failed to make it out of semi-finals.

Early leader Amanda Kendall finished in fourth at 58.32. North Carolina’s Hellen Moffitt (58.40), Cal’s Katie McLaughlin (58.49), Minnesota’s Danielle Nack (58.98) and Trojan’s Kendyl Stewart (59.59) also swam in the A-final.
