Kaylee-mckeown

The women's 100 backstroke at the Commonwealth Games came down to the wire between Kaylee McKeown and Kylie Masse.

She was 1.41 seconds out front at the 150, allowing her to power into the final 50, still outsplitting the field by nearly a full second in 31.56. It did, however, include a rare finals swim for the Isle of Jersey, with former George Washington University standout Gemma Athlerley finishing eighth. It’s three straight major titles for McKeown, who won the 200 back at the Olympics in 2:04.68 and claimed the World Championship in Budapest earlier this summer in 2:05.08.
