After setting three American Records during the first hour of racing during Virginia’s short course meter dual meet with Florida, Gretchen Walsh was far from done.
Report informs via foreign media that competing in a 100 IM time trial, Walsh rocketed to a time of 55.98, demolishing the world record of 56.51 set by Katinka Hosszu back in 2017.
Walsh is the first swimmer in history under 56 seconds, and breaks the hours-old American Record of 56.99 set by Kate Douglass earlier on Friday at the Shanghai stop of the World Cup.
