Hardy wins by that much
SWIMMING: Long Beach native defeats Soni by .01 seconds in 100-yard breaststroke.
LONG BEACH - Jessica Hardy insisted winning was not her ultimate goal this week at USA Swimming's 2010 Southern California Grand Prix.
"It was important for me to get good racing in," said the 2005 Wilson High graduate.
But with just 25 yards to go in Monday's 100-yard breaststroke final, with a hometown crowd roaring and with Trojan Swim Club teammate Rebecca Soni right along her side, Hardy's competitive nature took over.
In the closest final of the four-day meet, Hardy touched the wall just ahead of Soni - 58.99 to 59.00 seconds - to set a meet record and claim her only victory of the weekend.
"We train with each other every day," said Hardy, the world-record holder in the 100-meter breaststroke. "... It's fun to swim against her."
