While the arena was watching\u00a0Sarah Sjostrom<\/strong> of Sweden tear down the existing 100 free world record,\u00a0Mallory Comerford<\/strong> led off Team USA in American Record fashion.<\/p>\n

Much like\u00a0Caeleb Dressel<\/strong>, who led the men’s team to victory and earned himself a new individual 100 free American Record, Comerford arrived in the arena for the relay ready to race. Comerford unleashed a time of 52.59 to slip past teammate\u00a0Simone Manuel’s<\/strong> 52.70, set last summer at the 2016 Rio Olympics.<\/p>\n

Comparative splits:<\/p>\n

\n
Comerford (2017): 25.51, 27.08 = 52.59<\/li>\n
Manuel (2016): 25.24, 27.46 = 52.70<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Comerford and Manuel combined with\u00a0Kelsi Worrell<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Katie Ledecky<\/strong>\u00a0to win Team USA the first relay gold for the women’s team with a time of 3:31.72. That time doubles as a new American Record for the women’s 400 free relay, edging past the 2016 relay record time of 3:31.89 from the 2016 Rio Olympics.<\/p>\n
