Monday's Results:
Women's 100 Fly Final
Despite being the defending world champ in this event at the Olympics last year, Dana Vollmer was only able to get 3rd place at the Worlds this year. Apparently this events see a high turnover rate at the top.
Congrats to Dana to add to the medal counts for the US (and the unofficial counts for Cal Bears).
You know what, I'm proud of myself for that race and getting the bronze medal! Congrats to @sarahsjo and @Alicia_Coutts! Great race!!
