Pro Series – Knoxville (Day Four)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Results<\/a><\/p>\n

The Regan Smith<\/strong> Express continues to roll along toward the Olympic Games<\/strong><\/a> in Tokyo, as the American teenager delivered another standout performance on Sunday night to close out her weekend at the TYR Pro Series<\/strong> stop in Knoxville. Contesting the 200-meter backstroke, Smith established a championship record of 2:05.94 to win the race by more than three seconds.<\/p>\n

Coming off a 58-low effort in the 100 back<\/a> on Saturday night, Smith posted a time at twice the distance that has only been bettered or equaled by seven women in history. Of course, Smith holds the world record from last summer at 2:03.35, a performance that was turned in during the semifinal round of the World Championships. Smith went on to capture gold in the final with another sub-2:04 showing.<\/p>\n
