Komisarz shines in world championships | |
Rachel Komisarz, a Louisville resident and UK College of Education alumnae, competed as a member of the U.S. Women’s swim team at the Short Course World Championships in Shanghai, China. Komisarz earned a bronze medal in the 800-meter freestyle relay on the first day of the championships. She also tied for fifth-best qualifying time in the 50 meter butterfly. She tied for sixth in the finals and also earned a silver medal in the 400 medley relay. To cap off her participation, Komisarz qualified seventh in the 100 meter butterfly semifinals, then pulled off a stunning silver-medal finish in the finals. "I knew I had to be out and aggressive on the first 50," Komisarz said, "but I tried to stay relaxed and then just hammered it home. I knew I could bring it back faster than anybody, so I had to be confident and know I could do it. It was all about swimming my race and not worrying about what everyone else was doing." |
