After a record setting performance in the preliminaries, University of Louisville swimmer Kelsi Worrell came back and won the gold medal in the 100-meter butterfly at the Pan American Games in Toronto Thursday night.

Worrell, who won the 100-yard and 200-yard butterfly at NCAAs last spring, shattered a Pan American record in the 100-meter fly this morning in prelims with a 54.03, the third fastest time in the world this year. In the finals, she came back with a 57.78 for the gold. She adds it to her silver medal she won the first day of competition in the 400-meter freestyle relay.
