AFTER throwing down an adrenaline-fueled 30.20 during prelims, Jessica Hardy cruised in with a 30.40 to lead the women&#39;s 50 breast semis at the FINA World Long Course Championships.<\/p>\n<p>Hardy, who had just qualified for semis in the women&#39;s 50 free 11 minutes earlier during prelims, likely had the juice going en route to the blazing fast time of 30.20 in prelims.  She had a much more controlled 30.40 tonight to make her way to the finale.<\/p>\n<p>USA&#39;s Rebecca Soni, who still has a chance at a breaststroke world title sweep, qualified second in 30.74, while Russia&#39;s Yuliya Efimova, the defending world champion, qualified third in 30.81.
