Photo Courtesy: MIKE LEWIS\/ISL<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s always fun to race Lilly, and it\u2019s fun to go into the race and know that you\u2019ve got two really great breaststrokers and you feel like it\u2019s going to be a lot of points for the Condors no matter what,\u201d Hannis told <em>Swimming World<\/em> Thursday. \u201cHaving Lilly there is great, and to me, I just look at it as lots of points for the Condors when you have to two really strong swimmers in the event.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hannis holds the third-fastest time in ISL this season in the 50 breast (29.04 seconds) and fifth-fastest in the 100 breast (1:04.32), a slight change in expertise given that the 28-year-old American <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/2016-trials-throwback-lilly-king-adds-200-breast-to-olympic-lineup-with-molly-hannis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">qualified for the Rio Olympics in the 200 breast<\/a>. She holds the 17th-fastest time in that event this season.<\/p>\n<p>Most impressive is how Hannis has summoned the speed to rise to the skins occasion. In the four matches that the Condors\u2019 have opted for breaststroke, King and Hannis have gone 1-2 three times, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/isl-semifinal-2-day-2-condors-current-titans-team-iron-battle-live-recap\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">in Match 10<\/a> and Semifinal 2. (In the other meet, Hannis failed to emerge from the first round in Match 8, with London Roar\u2019s <strong>Alia Atkinson<\/strong> going on to finish runner-up to King.)<\/p>\n<p>Hannis credits the mentality of just racing in those events, and the combination of her speed this year and her historical endurance serve her well.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve had a couple of opportunities to do it and it\u2019s so fun,\u201d she said. \u201cPart of me thinks of it a little bit like three 50s all out in practice. There are some games that can be played with it \u2013 how fast do I really need to go? Do I have to go all out on all three? But at the end of the day, I\u2019m aiming for three 50s as fast as I can go in all three.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>All those skins races have Hannis high up <a href=\"http:\/\/mediainfo.u.isl.global\/2020\/12_Semi_2\/I99B_Season%20MVP%20Standings.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">in the season MVP standings<\/a>. Through the semifinals, she\u2019s 33rd in MVP points accumulated. That ranks sixth on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/beata-nelson-fitting-right-in-with-cali-condors-dominance-versatility\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the Condors deep<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/isl-match-ten-day-1-notes-beata-nelson-hali-flickingers-versatility-gives-condors-breathing-room\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">talented squad<\/a> and 19th among women\u2019s swimmers.<\/p>\n<p>Hannis credits the elite training environment in the Budapest bubble with gearing her up for races. Though many of the factions of the Condors remain on their own training plans, brought from their groups back home, there\u2019s a certain diffusion of seeing each other go so fast in the practice pool day after day.<\/p>\n<p>One strain of that comes from her alma mater: Hannis is one of many University of Tennessee grads tearing it up in ISL. <strong>Kira Toussaint<\/strong> is the obvious headliner, the London Roar swimmer having <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/kira-toussaint-takes-down-world-record-in-50-backstroke-in-isl-semifinal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">set the world record in the 50 back<\/a> in the first semifinal. But <strong>Tessa Cieplucha<\/strong> impressed in her debut season for the Toronto Titans, <strong>Maddy Banic<\/strong> is a big part of Energy Standard\u2019s quest for a second title and Hannis\u2019 teammate Erika Brown is a valuable relay cog for Cali.<\/p>\n<p>While communication between teams is limited in the bubble to chance encounters in the hallway, the training pool or cafeteria, Hannis has enjoyed watching her fellow Volunteers flourish.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cReally what\u2019s been fun is if you\u2019re not at the same meet, is to pull up the livestream and watch some of those other girls kill it in the other meets that the Condors are not competing in,\u201d the two-time NCAA champ said. \u201cGetting to watch Tessa just swim really well in the 4IM and Kira break the world record and Maddy Banic has been on fire. So it\u2019s been fun to watch the livestream and see how well they\u2019ve been doing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Molly Hannis is optimistic that the fun won\u2019t stop yet for the Condors. With five wins from five meets, they enter the Grand Final perhaps as slight favorites. With Atkinson and Energy Standard\u2019s <strong>Benedetta Pilato<\/strong> stocking the pool for a star-studded breaststroke field, Hannis might have a big say in keeping the roll going.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m very excited,\u201d she said. \u201cI feel like we\u2019ve set ourselves up pretty well. We haven\u2019t lost a match, and hopefully just can continue that heading into the final.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Emergence of Molly Hannis As Skins Weapon Vital to
