On the heels of her impressive 200m back swim yesterday while competing at the 2019 Pan American Games in Lima, Peru, 17-year-old Isabelle Stadden fired off a new lifetime best in the women’s 100m back today as relay lead-off.
Stadden first clocked a morning 200m back time yesterday of 2:09.15, which the Cal commit lowered to 2:08.39 for silver behind teammate Alex Walsh in the individual final. But today, Stadden led-off the mixed medley relay in a 100m back split of 59.69. That sliced .02 off of the now-17-year-old’s previous lifetime best of 59.71 logged just this past June at the Pro Swim Series in Clovis.
Today in Lima, Peru, Stadden’s sub-minute outing was composed of 29.11/30.58 to give the Aquajet swimmer her new best time and also check her in as the 8th fastest American female ever in the 17-18 age group for the 100m back.

Aquajets is inevitable.
Future Bear joining Former Bears on that list. I like it.
Maybe Claire Adams would have done better at Cal
I think she would have done a lot better too
I think that 17-18 girls group in swimming should be eliminated. Girls at this age are mature enough physically to explain their swimming results by their body being underdeveloped. It is actually vice versa in many swimming disciplines: they have an advantage and with further age related changes with their body are losing ability to swim faster.
That women’s 100 back at trials is going to be sick. Might take a sub-1:00 to make finals.

I know FINA doesn’t count mixed relay lead offs for WRs, but what about USA Swimming irt rankings? Does this swim count, officially?
Smoliga’s personal best – 58.73
Start sweating Olivia.
She doesn’t sweat! She’s an Ice Queen!
I can’t see her making it in the 100 back, she could make the 4×100 though. For some reason lots of people on here underestimate Kathleen Baker who was just returning from injury at Worlds. There is literally only one person who has been faster than Baker in backstroke ever
