The United States clearly put a lot of emphasis in the 4x100m mixed medley relay -- and it paid off. In prelims, the U.S. squad of Ryan Murphy (52.34), Kevin Cordes (58.95), Kelsi Worrell (56.17), and Mallory Comerford (52.82) shattered the world record with a 3:40.28. In the finals, coaches Greg Meehan and Dave Durden decided on a new relay team that lowered the world record even further to 3:38.56. The quartet of Matt Grevers (52.32), Lilly King (1:04.15), Caeleb Dressel (49.92), and Simone Manuel (52.17) demolished the field by over 3 1/2 seconds. While all four splits were incredibly impressive, the ones with the most implication at this point in the meet are Dressel's 49.9 and Manuel's 52.1 -- both of those times set them up well for their individual 100s to come.
Other impressive splits in the field -- Kylie Masse (Canada), 58.22 100m backstroke; Adam Peaty (Great Britain), 57.12 100m breaststroke; Penny Oleksiak (Canada), 56.18 100m butterfly; Bronte Campbell (Australia), 52.30 100m freestyle.
