Last year Marie became the first USMS female swimmer in the 100-104 age group when she competed in a SCM meet at "FINA 100." But she was still 99 years old.
Yesterday she was swam the 50 free at 100 years of age, just two months after recovering from a stroke. The Richmond Times-Dispatch ran an excellent article on Marie:

She's treated like a rock star at any meets she attends, as is only fitting.
Her time Sunday was 1:58.08.
That's a World Record! Go Marie! :applaud: Hopefully the pool was measured!
Is she still starting off the blocks? What an amazing woman!
