Komisarz advances to another final

Rachel Komisarz, who trains with the Lakeside Seahawks in Louisville, tied for fifth in the semifinals of the women’s 50-meter butterfly tonight at the FINA Short Course World Swimming Championships in Shanghai and will swim in the final on Friday night.

Komisarz, a 2004 Olympian, finished her semifinal heat in 26.45 seconds and was the only American to advance to the final in the event. Austria’s Fabienne Nadarajah was the fastest semifinalist with a time of 26.05 seconds.

Komisarz already has one medal after earning a bronze in the women’s 800-meter freestyle relay on Wednesday.
