It could have been the swim of the morning.<\/p>\n<p>The problem was that there were two heats remaining.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Katharine Berkoff<\/strong> immediately set a new record with a 58.09 swim in the next heat.<\/p>\n<p>Then<strong> Regan Smith<\/strong> broke <em>THAT<\/em> meet record with a 57.86 to take the top spot, put Berkoff second and leave Curzan out.<\/p>\n<p>Take a wild guess how many times that has happened.<\/p>\n<p>If that didn&#8217;t show the complete dominance of the USA in the backstroke, <strong>Leah Shackley, Rylee Erisman<\/strong> and <strong>Phoebe<\/strong> <strong>Bacon<\/strong> all finished in the top eight.<\/p>\n<p>Six of the top eight (Canada&#8217;s<strong> Taylor Ruck<\/strong> and Australia&#8217;s <strong>Hannah Fredericks<\/strong> were the only non-Americans to finish in the top eight) were from the home soil.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/pan-pacific-championships-day-1-womens-prelims-live-recap\/\"
