This week\u2019s Performance Of The Week, <\/span>sponsored by LumaLanes<\/span><\/a>, goes to <\/span>Jack Conger <\/b>for his performance in the men\u2019s 100 fly at the Austin Speedo Sectionals. <\/span><\/p>\n

Swimming in what is likely his last meet before US Nationals, Conger posted a 51.34 win in the 100 fly to win the event by over a second and continue what has been a strong long course season. The former Texas swimmer has become one of the most consistent long course Americans this year, posting several sub-52 second swims in the event. <\/span><\/p>\n

Conger already has the top time for an American in the 100 fly in 2018 <\/span>with a 51.00 from the TYR Pro Swim Series meet in Atlanta<\/span><\/a>, and his time this weekend is still a half second ahead of the next fastest American this year (<\/span>Michael Andrew\u2019s <\/b>51.86 from the <\/span>TYR Pro Series meet in Columbus<\/span><\/a>). He has already been faster than he was at last summer\u2019s nationals (51.33), and was just .01 off that time with his sectionals swim.<\/span><\/p>\n

While <\/span>Caeleb Dressel <\/b>will be a major factor in this event in a few weeks, as seems to be in almost any event this season (he is currently the third fastest American with a 52.20), Conger is putting together a case to be a contender for the top spot this summer and potentially joining the exclusive sub-50 second 100 fly. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Congratulations Jack Conger on earning Swimming World\u2019s Performance of the Week!<\/span>
