SYDNEY — Australian Emily Seebohm broke the world record in the non-Olympic 50-meter backstroke at the Australian swimming trials on Saturday.
Seebohm finished in a time of 27.95 seconds, taking 0.05 seconds off American Hayley McGregory's mark set two weeks ago.
It was the second world record of the night after Stephanie Rice lowered the 400-meter individual medley mark.
"The goal was pretty much all this season to get that world record ... I just had to go under 28 this time," Seebohm said.
