British Trials, Day 5 Finals: Keanna Macinnes Completes Fly Double With 100 Victory
Keanna Macinnes came from second at halfway to add the 100 fly to her 200 title and complete the double at the Aquatics Centre.
The qualification time of 57.17 was 0.08 inside Ellen Gandy’s British record of 57.25 that has stood since March 2012 at the inaugural event of the Aquatics Centre.
The top 21 British times in history have all been posted by women who are no longer competing with Gandy head of the pile followed by Fran Halsall (57.40), Jemma Lowe (57.43), Siobhan O’Connor (57.45) and Rachael Kelly (57.71).
Next in the British rankings is Harriet Jones with a PB of 57.79 and it was the Welshwoman who led at the turn from Macinnes in 26.86 to 27.09.
The University of Stirling swimmer came back in 30.83 to come past Jones and touch in 57.92, the only woman inside 58.
It was outside the cut but Macinnes has already qualified in the 200.
Stirling teammate Lucy Grieve was second in 58.31 with Laura Stephens third in 58.68.
