In prelims of the men’s 100 back at the Greensboro site of the Speedo Summer Championships, Firestone Akron Swim Team 16-year-old Jonny Marshall finished 3rd in 55.30. The swim for Marshall was a lifetime best, coming in under his previous best of 55.58, which was swum 3 weeks ago, at the LE Sectionals.
In addition to the personal best, Marshall has now cracked the all-time top 10 for 15-16 boys in the LCM 100 backstroke, jumping over Carson Foster. Here is the current all-time top 10 for 15-16 boys:
| Rank | Time | Swimmer | Date |
| 1 | 53.76 | Ryan Murphy | 6/5/2012 |
| 2 | 54.41 | Conor Ferguson | 4/28/2016 |
| 3 | 54.62 | Michael Taylor | 8/25/2015 |
| 4 | 54.74 | Michael Andrew | 8/25/2015 |
| 5 | 54.90 | Daniel Diehl | 5/1/2021 |
| 6 | 55.01 | Logan McFadden | 8/4/2017 |
| 7 | 55.02 | Jack Conger | 8/2/2011 |
| 8 | 55.04 | Will Modglin | 3/27/2021 |
| 9 | 55.30 | Jonny Marshall | 8/6/2021 |
| 10 | 55.37 | Carson Foster | 7/28/2018 |
There’s a pretty large gap between Marshall at #9, and Will Modglin at #8, so it will take a big best time tonight for Marshall to move up further on this ranking. Marshall has also swum lifetime bests in the men’s 200 back (2:02.34) and men’s 100 fly (55.30) already this week.
Let’s go, Jonny!!!
Is that meant to be US rankings or world?
Because I’m pretty sure Conor Ferguson is Irish.
