Trojan’s Yuliya Efimova, just months removed from a doping ban, does not seem worse for the time off after winning the women’s 100-meter breast at the Arena Pro Swim Series Santa Clara.

Efimova hit the wall in a time of 1:06.13, just off her second-ranked season best of 1:05.89 from Mission Viejo in March.  Her time tonight is the third best in the world this year. Only Ruta Meilutyte has been faster this year with a 1:05.46 from the Canet stop of the Mare Nostrum.

Trojan’s Jessica Hardy captured silver tonight in 1:07.53, off her sixth-ranked best of 1:06.97 from the Charlotte stop.

SoFlo’s Alia Atkinson, ranked fifth in the world with a 1:06.79 from Orlando, snared bronze with a time of 1:08.21.

Gator’s Hilda Luthersdottir (1:08.40), BlueFish’s Laura Sogar (1:08.83), Calgary’s Fiona Doyle (1:08.94), Canton City’s Laura Lindsay (1:09.04), Stanford’s Sarah Haase (1:09.04) and Minnesota’s Haley Spencer (1:09.11) closed out the A final.

Auburn’s Annie Lazor topped the B final in a time of 1:09.92.  Argentina’s Macarena Ceballos (1:10.36) and Julia Sebastian (1:10.40) placed second and third.
