Lilly King swam the fastest time in the world this year in winning the 100 breaststroke, an event she has owned for the past three years.
Annie Lazor, who was neck-and-neck with King from start to finish and is one of the favorites in the 200 breast Sunday, finished a very close second with the third-fastest time in the world in 2019. Bethany Galat, Emily Escobedo and Madisyn Cox all tied for third.
“It was kind of weird for me about a year ago having big meets here (at Councilman Billingsley Aquatics Center), but I got used to it now, and it’s so easy to swim fast at home,” King said. “I’m thankful we have this great crowd.”
