This marks the first world record of Gaffney\u2019s career.<\/p>\n<p>Two Pan American records were set on the opening day of the meet by <strong>Gia Pergolini<\/strong> (Roswell, Georgia) and two-time Paralympian <strong>Becca Meyers<\/strong> (Baltimore, Maryland). Pergolini set her Pan American record in the women\u2019s S13 100 back (1:06.61), while Meyers set a new mark in the women\u2019s S12 100 free (1:00.84).<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, <strong>Lawrence Sapp<\/strong> (Waldorf, Maryland) set an American record in the men\u2019s S14 100 backstroke (1:03.76).<\/p>\n<p>For Team USA, results from the world series meet in Indianapolis will help determine the U.S. roster for the Parapan American Games, set for Sept. 23-Aug. 1 in Lima, Peru.<\/p>\n<p>For the third time in as many years, Indianapolis is playing host to a stop on the World Para Swimming World Series circuit. The 2019 edition of the event features nearly 200 athletes from 20 countries.<\/p>\n<p>Competition continues tomorrow with the 50 breaststroke, 100 breaststroke, 400 free, 50 free, 4&#215;50 20 pt. free relay and 4&#215;100 S14 free relay.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Quotes<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>Julia Gaffney:<\/b><br \/>\n<em>\u201cI\u2019ve been eyeing the 100 back world record since I moved to the Olympic Training Center in January. I wanted to set it here in Indianapolis. We\u2019ve been working on my pull a lot, which has gotten much better. I saw the time and knew I set the world record. It feels really good to start the meet this way. I feel like I can relax and have fun because I\u2019ve done what I need to do.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><b>Gia Pergolini:<\/b><br \/>\n<em>\u201cThe race went pretty well. It did hurt the last 50 meters, but it\u2019s my best time in a long time. We\u2019ve been working on a lot of sprinting, tempo work and technique, so I think that all really helped.
