Jamaica’s Alia Atkinson scorched prelims with a time of 29.15, and could challenge Jessica Hardy’s world record of 28.80 during the finale.<\/p>\n

USA’s Breeja Larson (29.76) and Laura Sogar (31.49) qualified second and third in the sprint breast with Larson being in range to challenge Hardy’s official American record of 29.58.<\/p>\n

Why the disparity in Hardy records, you might ask? In October of 2009, USA Swimming instituted a domestic techsuit ban, while the rest of the world did not implement the ban until Jan. 1 2010. \u00a0Therefore, any American record set after the domestic ban while swimming in a techsuit internationally was not ratified by USA Swimming. \u00a0That’s led to a handful of separate records, particularly in short course meters.<\/p>\n

Austria’s Lisa Zaiser (31.80) and Caroline Retishammer (32.05) finished fourth and fifth.<\/p>\n

South Africa’s Chelsea Meiring (33.19), Sarra Lajnef (34.21) and Anne Palmans (35.77) also made the finale.<\/p>\n
