Lazor earned the gold medal in the event with a time of 1:06.94. Swimming for Team USA, Lazor will also compete in the 200m breaststroke and relays later this week.

In the B Final of the women’s 100m breaststroke, postgrad Laura Morley finished third with a time of 1:11.00 to take 11th overall. Morley will also swim the 200m breast, 200m IM and relays for Team Bahamas this week.
