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.
Well it is a yards meet so no WR.
Doggone! You can't believe what you read in the papers anymore!
After swimming the 50-meter freestyle Sunday morning, Marie Kelleher climbed out of the pool, posed for a few pictures ...
I hope she gets a chance to swim some meters meets!
