Excellent 100 backstroke by 40 year old masters swimmer Sheri Hart: 1:05.13. Counts as USMS record but not World record which is 1:07 something.
Rich: You are correct that is a USMS National Record and the old USMS Record was by Jody Smith at 1:07.21.
Today I watched NBC hour long coverage and noticed in this Women's 100 Back which was the last event shown, another 100 Back USMS National Record was broken. Noriko Inada swam a time of 1:00.74 which broke the record in the 30-34 age group which she set at Auburn last summer at 1:01.78 for a 1 second improvement. She was only .64 away from winning the event. With another second improvement she could very well be in the finals at the Olympic Trials as a USMS masters swimmer.
