2023 World Aquatics Championships (Fukuoka, Japan)
Haughey got a good wake-up swim in the 400 free relay where she was a solid 52.59. A couple of days later, she took on the 200 free. Haughey was relaxed through prelims with a 1:56.56 and solid in semis with a 1:55.48. She seemed to have shut it down on the last 50 in semis, coming home in 30.28. Haughey was fantastic in the final with a 1:53.96, just off her PB of 1:53.92 from 2021. While a truly impressive time that is the #15 time in history, Haughey found herself off the podium in 4th as the first woman ever to go 1:53 and miss a medal. Ahead of her, Mollie O’Callaghan (1:52.85, WR), Ariarne Titmus (1:53.01), and Summer McIntosh (1:53.65, WJR) took medals.
Haughey was on a bit of a revenge tour in the 100 free, leading prelims with a 53.15 and sitting 3rd in semis with a 52.90. In the final, Haughey was out like lightning in 24.87 to lead the field but down the stretch, Haughey could not hold off a charging Mollie O’Callaghan and ended up 2nd in 52.49. While not a best time, it was Haughey’s first LC Worlds medal.
2023 Asian Games (Hangzhou, China)
Swimming an off-event, Haughey still managed to capture bronze in the 50 breast with a 30.36. That took .85 seconds off her own national record. Previewing her meet to come, in the 400 free relay, Haughey clocked a super speedy 51.92 split to help Hong Kong to bronze. In the 200 free, Haughhey came within striking distance of her own 200 free Asian Record of 1:53.92 as she crushed the previous Games record of 1:56.65 by over 2.5 seconds to win in 1:54.12.
In the 100 free, Haughey collected her second gold medal of the 2023 Asian Games in style, firing off a new Asian Record en route to topping the field with a 52.17. Opening in 25.16 and closing in 27.01, she won by almost a second. The penultimate night of action saw Haughey take down another national record, this time in the 50 free. Haughey ultimately got to the wall in a time of 24.34, good enough for silver behind winner Zhang Yufei. That shaved .10 seconds off her PB.
2023 World Aquatics Swimming World Cup (Multi-stop)
Haughey was one of the best performers across all three stops: Berlin, Athens, and Budapest, as she reset multiple national records. She raced the 100 and 200 free across all three stops and won the “crown” in both by winning at each stop. In the 100, her best swim came at the first meet in Berlin. There, she shaved .15 seconds off her Asian Record of 52.17 as she won by over a second with a 52.02. Amazingly, Haughey was faster than her previous pace on both 50s; she opened in 25.08 and brought it home in 26.94. That swim, moved Haughey to #3 all-time behind Sarah Sjostrom (51.71) and Emma McKeon (51.96). Haughey was slightly off that time in Athens with a still impressive 52.55 and just missed her best in Budapest with a 52.24.
In the 200 free, Haughey was the model of consistent progress. In Berlin, she erased Katinka Hosszu’s World Cup Record of 1:55.41 with a 1:55.10, a little over a second off her PB. She dominated the race, beating the field by over a second. In Athens, she snuck under her days-old record with a 1:55.03. Haughey won by 1.72 seconds. She saved her best for the last stop in Budapest, crushing the World Cup record for the 3rd time with a season-best 1:54.08. Haughey was out super quick, leading the world record pace by .44 seconds at the 100, she faded a little on the 3rd 50 but was still .11 ahead of pace at the 150. Haughey could not quite keep up with the WR line, coming home in 29.45.
In Berlin, Haughey also tried the 400 free on for size and broke her own national record with a 4:05.30 for 3rd. In Athens, Haughey dabbled in breast again, taking 2nd in an impressive 30.36, tying her national record and nearly beating Ruta Meilutyte. At the final stop in Budapest, Haughey knocked .04 seconds off her NR with 24.30 50 free, the 4th time she had done so in 2023 alone. That time was good for 2nd.
With her double-triple and various podium finishes, Haughey ended up second in the World Cup rankings to only Kaylee McKeown. She earned $116,000 over the circuit.
2023 U.S. Open Championships (Greensboro, North Carolina)
Haughey took on a fairly large schedule, with the 50/100/200/400 free and 100 breast. In her first finals session, Haughey ended up 3rd in the 400 free with a 4:06.38 behind McIntosh (3:59.42) and Ledecky (4:02.38). That same night, she also placed 5th in the 50 free with a 24.62.
The following night, Haughey took on the abnormal 200 free/100 breast double. She jumped out to the lead on the first 50 meters of the women’s 200 freestyle and didn’t look back. As has been the case, she was under world record pace at the 100. She fell off the pace on the back half but stayed 2 seconds clear of Ledecky, who was second. Haughey’s 1:54.20 was over a second under Ledecky’s previous meet mark and just .07 seconds off the U.S. Open Record.
With just 15 minutes of rest, Haughey was up on the blocks again. With Lilly King DQed in prelims, a huge opportunity presented itself. Haughey touched in 1:06.05, a huge personal best, dropping 2.33 seconds off the PB she recorded in prelims. Much like her 200 freestyle win, Haughey led the race from wire to wire, splitting 31.04/35.01. She was fastest in the field on both 50s, out-splitting even Lydia Jacoby, who is known for her closing speed, on the second 50. It marked a Hong Kong record.
“I was not expecting that,” said Haughey after her 100 breast win. “I knew I wouldn’t have too much time in between. I don’t swim the 100 breast that often, so I was really surprised by the time. I treat the (double) like training, like doing two sets of race pace. Fifteen minutes is a decent amount of time in terms of training, so if I think about it that way it’s easier to manage.”
Haughey closed out the meet with another Championship record, this time in the 100 free with a 52.94.
2024 Hong Kong Short Course Age Group Swimming Championships (Hong Kong)
A week out from Worlds, where she planned to contest the 100 breast, Haughy swam 1:04.48 to break the Hong Kong National Record (SCM) of 1:05.92 that was set by Yvette Kong in 2009 during the supersuit era at a World Cup stop in Singapore.
