Australia s Kaylee McKeown won the event in an Olympic-record time of We 57.47; Canada s Kylie Mass finished in second.

SALT LAKE CITY On a Saturday in June, Ron Lockwood spent his weekend at a familiar place: a swim meet. But the longtime Utah swim coach had a unique request: He asked the director to pause the meet for just a few minutes. Just try to picture four dozen athletes using phones and watching it together and the amount of screaming and yelling, said Lockwood, who coached White at Wasatch Fish Market swim club and Cottonwood High.
They watched as their former teammate and friend pulled away down the stretch to win the race, becoming the first swimmer from Utah to win an event at the trials.
