After posting the top qualifying mark in prelims, Manuel cruised to victory in the final in Greensboro, clocking 53.44. Olympic veteran <strong>Allison Schmitt<\/strong> was second in 54.41.<\/p>\n<p>Known for her ability to produce in pressure situations, as evidenced by her recent world crowns and her Olympic gold medal in the 100 freestyle from the 2016 Games in Rio de Janeiro, Manuel put together a stellar marker on Thursday night. The time registered by Manuel is the second-fastest of her career from a non-championship meet, trailing only the 53.30 she put up this past June, in preparation for the World Championships.<\/p>\n<p>While Manuel has been considered an underdog to the likes of Aussie <strong>Cate Campbell<\/strong> and Sweden&#8217;s <strong>Sarah Sjostrom<\/strong> in prior international competitions, she has always delivered in the spotlight. Not only did Manuel share the 2016 Olympic title in the 100 freestyle with Canadian <strong>Penny Oleksiak<\/strong>, she has captured the past two world championships in the 100 free. Now, with Tokyo creeping closer, Manuel will head into the summer under favorite status. And considering she just managed a best time in the 100 free for this point in the season, there is greater reason to view Manuel as the woman to beat.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/YklVfUSUmFk\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;First 100 of the season, so didn\u2019t really know what to expect,&#8221; Manuel said. &#8220;Training has been going well, but after seeing my time, I\u2019m pretty pleased with it. The time was not the main focus for me. I was really focusing on a lot of details I wanted to fix, especially from World Championships.
