After slightly trailing throughout most of the race, Georgia’s Olivia Smoliga had the magic touch at the end of the women’s 100 Backstroke to get the win by .01. Her 59.78 is just outside the world top 10 rankings, although her 59.14 from Atlanta earlier this year currently ranks her fourth.

Smoliga came from behind after Ali Deloof was off to a quick 29.00 opening fifty. Canada’s Taylor Ruck was also in the mix at 29.37 but the women finished second (59.79) and third (1:00.13), respectively. Deloof now owns the eleventh-best time in the world this year and is the third-fastest American behind Smoliga and Regan Smith.

Asia Seidt was not far behind in fourth (1:00.83) touching just ahead of Simone Manuel (1:01.11) who was also off a fast start of 29.86. Lisa Bratton (1:01.26), Isabella Arcila Hurtado (1:01.62) and Kennedy Goss (1:01.74) placed sixth through eighth.
