Dana Vollmer is once again the fastest U.S. woman in the 100m butterfly, less than a year after returning to training after giving birth.
Vollmer clocked 56.94 seconds to win at a USA Swimming Pro Series meet in Mesa, Ariz., on Thursday.
It marked the fastest 100m butterfly for any U.S. woman since Vollmer’s victory at the London 2012 Olympics. She is the only American ever to break 57 seconds.
“My fly, in a lot of ways, is better than it was then,” Vollmer told media in Mesa.
The meet continues Friday and Saturday, with finals live on NBC Sports Live Extra at 8 ET each night.
