The 100m backstroke closed out the busy day of swimming, with the talented women’s group of Regan Smith (Lakeville, Minn/Riptide Swim Team), Kathleen Baker (Winston-Salem, N.C./Team Elite) and Phoebe Bacon (Chevy Chase, Md./Nation’s Capital Swim Club) once again on display. Ultimately, it was Baker who finished first, touching in 59.82.
“I definitely was dusting off the cobwebs and broke out a little bit quicker than I’m used to tempo-wise,” Baker said. “I’m just getting used to racing again and I’m happy to be under a minute. I don’t really have any expectations for this meet. It’s only November. The fall is always a little bit iffy, but I’m just enjoying getting to race and definitely liked that there was some more music playing tonight.”
