WOMEN’S 50 FREE
Last week, the NY Breakers chose to use Kasia Wasick as a relay-only swimmer on day 1, holding her out of this 50 free. This week, they took a drastically different route, holding Wasick off of the relay and swimming her in the 50 free. We’re going to say this week’s strategy was the correct one, as Wasick exploded for a dominant win. She was 23.43 to supplant Sarah Sjostrom (23.48) as the 2020 ISL leader. Wasick’s time would have put her 3rd in the league for the entirety of the 2019 season. She gets two jackpot steals while beating last week’s match 2 MVP Kromowidjojo by almost half a second en route to a new Polish national record.
She has a humble spirit yet is a fighter – “I like the underdog role”, & “I think we’re going to make some noise”. Congratulations on the breakthrough Kasia!
Now THIS is why the ISL is important
We need a polish team!
Oczywiscie 🙂
We need a polish team! #polsja
She swam at masters nationals not that long ago? Talk about stepping up in competition.
yeah she swam at masters national like 3 months after coming back from retirement and a few months later she was going best times and breaking national records. Way to go Kasia!!
Some swimmers benefit from some time off, it looks like Kasia is one of them
