By Julia Cunningham, Swimming World College Intern<\/em><\/p>\n

In the past few weeks the swimming world has been hit by many surprises: from world record holders missing the Olympic team to the amount of new faces that now grace the Olympic roster. One new face, though not new to the spotlight, is\u00a0that of Kelsi Worrell<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Worrell, recently graduated from\u00a0the University of Louisville,\u00a0had one of the most exciting seasons of any athlete to go through Louisville. 2016 was definitely her time to shine, and there are plenty of reasons why. Below are just a few…<\/p>\n

1. She won the 100 butterfly at the US Trials.<\/h3>\n

Worrell swam an exciting race in Omaha, bringing home her last 50 in\u00a0under 30 seconds<\/a> to touch out Dana Vollmer <\/strong>for gold. This earned her an Olympic berth and\u00a0set her up well for the final in Rio, where she will race defending Olympic champion, Vollmer, again and world record-holder in the event,\u00a0Sarah Sjostrom\u00a0<\/strong>of Sweden.<\/p>\n

2. She holds the fastest time of any American in the 100 meter butterfly.<\/h3>\n

Worrell’s 56.48 is the fastest time posted by an American for this year, and the second fastest in the world<\/a>\u00a0rankings going into Rio.<\/p>\n

3. She is the first American swimmer from the University of Louisville to qualify for the Olympics.<\/h3>\n

Worrell has left quite the legacy at her alma mater. She has blazed a trail of school and conference records during her time as a Cardinal. Not only is she the first American swimmer to qualify for the Olympics, she also is just the third Cardinal ever.<\/p>\n

4. She is the firstborn\u00a0of six siblings.<\/h3>\n

Many of Worrell’s younger siblings have followed her wet footprints into the pool. Her sister, Taylor<\/strong>, swims at the University of South Carolina and also competed in the 2016 Olympic Trials. Worrell enjoys knitting, baking, and scuba diving<\/a>—\u00a0all good activities to share with the family!<\/p>\n

5. She is the first woman to go under 50 seconds in the 100 yard butterfly.<\/h3>\n

Worrell smashed her own NCAA and American record records in the 100 butterfly<\/a> (49.43) at the 2016 NCAAs, one year after becoming the first woman to break the 50-second barrier<\/a> at the 2015 NCAA Championships. This was Worrell’s\u00a0fourth individual\u00a0NCAA title . She won both the 100 and 200 butterfly at 2015 and 2016 NCAAs.<\/p>\n

6. She and Team USA won gold in the 4×100 medley relay at the 2015 Pan American Games with\u00a0a Pan-Am Games record.<\/h3>\n

Technically, this “first” was in 2015, but still worth noting. The team of Natalie Coughlin, Katie Meili, Kelsi Worrell<\/strong> and Allison Schmitt<\/strong> scorched to victory in a Pan-Am Games record<\/a> of 3:56.53 last summer. The\u00a0time was slightly faster than Team USA’s\u00a0relay (3:56.76) at the more\u00a0prestigious meet of 2015, World Championships in Kazan, Russia. Worrell has shown she’s someone who can be counted on in Team USA relays.<\/p>\n

Fly to victory in Rio, Kelsi!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
