Night 3 Short Course World Championship Trials Recap I Yahoo Sports
Night 3 of the Short Course Meters (SCM) World Championship Trials delivered another incredible night of fast swimming, world records, American records, and standout performances from Team USA!
Kate Douglass stole the spotlight by breaking the world record in the 100 freestyle with an absolutely dominant swim, while Gretchen Walsh finished second. We break down whether Kate's performance takes the title of Swim of the Meet over Jack Alexy's historic 100 freestyle world record.
We also discuss Maximus Williamson's victory in the 200 IM, Ilya Kharun breaking his own American record in the 50 butterfly, and Caeleb Dressel posting a personal best as he continues his comeback. Gretchen Walsh added another win in the 100 butterfly, while Claire Curzan broke the American record in the 200 backstroke.
Plus, we look at Regan Smith's bounce-back performance, Luke Hobson defending his position in the 200 freestyle, and Jack Alexy proving he has more than just 100 freestyle speed.
UVA's swimmers continue to dominate, and Team USA is looking stronger than ever heading into the Short Course World Championships.
**Is Kate Douglass's 100 freestyle the swim of the meet? Or does Jack Alexy's world record still take the crown?**
