Gretchen Walsh broke the 50-meter Butterfly World Record not once, but twice in prelims and semifinal swims.
That's right, she still has finals left to do it again.
Kate Douglass broke a 10-year-old 200-meter IM World Record for Gold - she now holds WR in the 200 IM and 200 Breast.
Alex Walsh returned in her first meet after knee surgery for a rousing Silver, a great comeback after her disappointing DQ at the Olympics.
