Women’s 50 Free 15-16 All-Time Rankings

1. Simone Manuel, 24.80
2. Marta Ciesla, 25.07
3. Anya Goeders, 25.16
4. Missy Franklin, 25.26
5. Abbey Weitzeil, 25.27

Goeders was previously ranked 8th on this list with a 25.44 from before the meet. She jumped Missy Franklin and Abbey Weitzeil on this list– Weitzeil was the top qualifier into the 50 free final with her 24.34 from tonight.

Goeders finished 9th in this event overall after semifinals, just missing a spot in the final. You’ve probably seen her before, as something about her stands out– she doesn’t wear a knee skin racing suit.

She’s still 15, meaning she has over a year before she ages up out of the 15-16 age group. Goeders was only 25.53 in prelims, and just snuck into semis with a 16th place finish (though Kelsi Worrell ultimately scratched the semifinals and Goeders moved through in 15th).
