HOBART, Australia — Jessicah Schipper has set a shortcourse world record for the women’s 100-meter butterfly at the Australian championships.
The 22-year-old Schipper was timed in 55.68 seconds Wednesday, beating the mark of 55.74 which fellow Australian Libby Trickett set last year.
It was the fourth world record set at the national shortcourse titles: Trickett broke her own record in the 100 freestyle, Christian Sprenger broke the mark in the 200 breaststroke and Emily Seebohm set a record in the 100 individual medley.
