By David Rieder.<\/em><\/p>\n

The last time Kelsi Worrell<\/strong>\u00a0traveled west to race a 100 fly, she got her hand on the wall first, but it wasn\u2019t pretty. At the Arena Pro Swim Series meet in Mesa, Ariz., Worrell had to come from behind to get to the wall before Louise<\/strong> Hansson<\/strong>, and her final time was a sluggish 58.60.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe race felt\u00a0really heavy. From the beginning that\u2019s how I describe it. Nothing was easy about it,\u201d Worrell said after that race in Mesa.<\/p>\n

But Worrell explained that she had a very good reason to be feeling sluggish in the water: She had just returned from her first-ever altitude training camp, where she swam with Greg Meehan<\/strong> and several members of his Stanford women\u2019s team for two weeks in Colorado Springs.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s definitely humbling,\u201d Worrell said of training with a group that includes Simone Manuel<\/strong> and Katie<\/strong> Ledecky<\/strong>. \u201cThey train so well, and so I walked way like, \u2018Wow.\u2019 I got my butt kicked a little bit, but I also had fun. They\u2019re a great group to train with. I was able to push myself, and it has translated back at Louisville.\u201d<\/p>\n

She\u2019s also translated that success to the racing pool, as Worrell\u2019s efforts her signature 100 fly have been much improved at the last two stops of the Arena Pro Swim Series. She won in Atlanta in 57.50 and then in Santa Clara in 57.44.<\/p>\n

Her Santa Clara time ranks as the second-best in-season performance of her career and the sixth-fastest time in the world. Worrell actually swam faster than she did in the Olympic semi-finals, where she finished a disappointing ninth.<\/p>\n

Worrell first broke out as a short course star, becoming the first woman to swim the 100-yard fly under 50 seconds at the 2015 NCAA championships, but over the last two years she has grown into a prolific long course 100 butterflyer.<\/p>\n

That rise culminated with her win in the event at Olympic Trials last year, when she beat then-defending gold medalist Dana Vollmer<\/strong> and touched in 56.48, making her only the second American woman to ever crack 57. Now, after a full year as a professional swimmer, Worrell only feels more comfortable in the race.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis year I didn\u2019t race a lot of short course, and so I put a little more emphasis on long course training,\u201d she said. \u201cI haven\u2019t been rested for a long time now\u2014this is my first year without a rested short course meet. It\u2019s been a different experience this year. I am really enjoying 100 fly long course now.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

When Worrell did not make the Olympic final in the event, the U.S. team had a solid fallback option in Vollmer, who ended up capturing the bronze medal. Now, with Vollmer expecting a second child this summer and out of competition, Worrell is clearly the No. 1 U.S. option in the event.<\/p>\n

If she finishes first in the 100 fly at U.S. Nationals as expected, Worrell would earn spots in that event as well as the 50 fly and on the U.S. 400 medley relay team at the World Championships in Budapest.<\/p>\n

On top of that, she could also go after a spot in the 200 fly or on the 400 free relay\u2014and even possibly the 50 free. Worrell won that event in Santa Clara in 25.11, a time that only two Americans (Simone Manuel<\/strong> and Madison<\/strong> Kennedy<\/strong>) have surpassed this season.<\/p>\n

Worrell does have some experience swimming a larger program at a major meet\u2014at the Short Course World Championships this December in Windsor, Worrell won silver medals in all three butterfly events while also filling holes for the U.S. team on five different relays.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt makes it a lot more fun,\u201d Worrell said. \u201cInstead of sitting around\u2014at the Olympics I was sitting around for five or six days between my events. Still loved cheering and being part of Team USA, but it is different to be part of so many relays and so many events, so that is a motivation for this year, too.\u201d<\/p>\n

But regardless of what she can manage in the off-events, Worrell\u2019s abilities in the two-lap butterfly race mean she\u2019s likely to be a key piece of the American squad that heads to Budapest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
