***Sorry for the audio quality, we made a technical error when capturing some of them*** After adding time in the 50 and 100 back from the first World Cup stop in Carmel, Kaylee McKeown wanted to see what she was capable of in the 200 back on the last night in Westmont. The Aussie legend did just that, not only clocking a time faster than Carmel, but faster than she had ever been... or anyone had ever been. Touching in 1:57.87, she broke Regan Smith's world record in the event and became the first woman ever under 1:58.
