Anna Moesch breaks American record in 100m freestyle at championships

Anna Moesch set a new American record in the 100m freestyle with a time of 51.94 seconds at the AP Race London International on May 25. This achievement came after Moesch recovered from a serious knee injury and progressed from being ranked 18th among American swimmers in the event. The record-breaking swim exceeded the previous mark of 52.04 seconds held by Simone Manuel since 2019. Moesch now competes at the Toyota USA Swimming National Championships in Irvine, California, where she will attempt to further her success in the 100m freestyle event, scheduled for the opening day.
