This was not a focus meet or a taper meet, but the competition from Huske helped her to uncork some magnificent efforts\u2014and as Curzan described it, the key moment of the meet passed in a blur.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to competing in the 100 butterfly final, Curzan thought she might actually miss her race because it had taken longer than expected to put on her racing suit. Ironically, she had also struggled to get her suit on before racing the 100 fly at the U.S. Open in November, and that was the swim where she cut almost a second off her best time and became the third-fastest American in history. After she has gotten to the block at the eleventh hour before two of the best races of her life, maybe the frantic approach has helped Curzan. \u201cThat got the adrenaline kicking,\u201d Curzan said.<\/p>\n<p>Then, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/in-same-race-claire-curzan-and-torri-huske-take-down-separate-nag-records-in-100-fly\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the 16-year-old blasted a 56.20 in the 100 fly<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/amidst-craziness-claire-curzans-100-fly-nag-record-was-also-a-world-junior-record\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">taking down the world junior record<\/a> and becoming the fastest American in the event since <strong>Dana Vollmer<\/strong> swam a 55.98 on her way to Olympic gold in 2012. Huske finished just behind in a 56.69 that moved her to fourth all-time among Americans. And after the race, Curzan said, she almost forgot what she had just done.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI kind of looked up, and I was like, \u2018Oh, OK,\u2019\u201d Curzan said. \u201cLater, in the warmdown pool, I was like, \u2018Wait, what did I go again? I can\u2019t remember.\u2019 It didn\u2019t really sink in until later. It was weird.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Now, a few days after the race, Curzan has seen all the statistics about how her swim has shaken up the rankings, and she said, \u201cIt just doesn\u2019t sound like me. It\u2019s just weird seeing my name next to that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The immediate impact of her swim is that Curzan has become the favorite in the 100 fly for Olympic Trials, with Huske right there as a strong contender to make the Olympic team in the 100 fly as well. Curzan\u2019s other key swims from the meet\u2014<a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/torri-huske-fires-warning-shot-of-53-46-in-100-freestyle-at-tac-titans-premier-invitational\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a 54.40 100 free<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/claire-curzan-breaks-minute-barrier-with-eye-opening-59-37-in-100-backstroke\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a 59.37 100 back<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/torri-huske-goes-24-44-in-50-freestyle-to-wipe-out-simone-manuels-nag-record\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a time of 24.44 in the 50 free prior to a disqualification<\/a> for going past 15 meters underwater\u2014will put her into contention in those events as well.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I\u2019ve actually been working a lot on my freestyle, really just going back to the basics with technique work. It was fun to be next to Torri, who is such a great freestyler, and to try to keep up with her,\u201d Curzan said. As for her 100 backstroke swim, she said, \u201cIt always kind of surprises me. It\u2019s never really a big focus in my training. I\u2019ll do it one day a week as a designated backstroke day and a little bit intermixed but never as much as fly. I always get surprised by those races, and I love backstroke, so I was really happy with it, and it\u2019s nice to go under 1:00 for the first time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite all her recent success, Curzan is taking a mature approach in keeping the pressures of the upcoming <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usaswimming.org\/trials\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Olympic Trials<\/a> in perspective. She is devoting extensive mental energy toward not being overwhelmed by the weight of the meet just two months away.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think I\u2019m still going to try to just go into Trials and have as much fun as possible and just enjoy the experience,\u201d she said. \u201cI don\u2019t say that it\u2019s really about making the team, more just seeing if I can have fun, maybe drop a little time and really just enjoy myself.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prior to a weekend where she vaulted up the all-time rankings in her signature event, Claire Curzan was simply excited to face off against fellow teenage talent Torri Huske as<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":364083,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"dois","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[3,7],"tags":[60521,74161],"class_list":["post-469429","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured","category-usa","tag-claire-curzan","tag-torri-huske"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.3 (Yoast SEO v24.3) -
