Day 2 PSS Austin Prelims | Margo Geer Blazes 100m Free Best In 53.76
Highlights and results from day two prelims at the 2018 TYR Pro Swim Series at Austin at the Lee and Joe Jamail Texas Swimming Center.

The swim of the morning Friday in Austin was undoubtedly Margo Geer's 53.76 in the 100m freestyle — a lifetime best. But what does that mean in the big picture?
Coming into the 2016 Olympic Trials, Geer was a favorite to make the U.S. 4x100m freestyle relay in Rio and potentially earn an individual swim as well. After all, she had the second-fastest U.S. split at the 2015 World Championships (53.37) behind only Simone Manuel.
But, 2016 proved to be a different story. Geer failed to make it out of the semifinals at Trials, finishing 15th and leaving her swimming career in jeopardy. After taking some time away from training, Geer is now with Coley Stickels in Bloomington, IN, and swimming best times. Pretty cool.
