Komisarz wins another medal

Rachel Komisarz finished seventh in the women’s 50-meter butterfly at the FINA Short Course World Swimming Championships in Shanghai tonight, but the Louisville resident also earned a silver medal in the 400-meter medley relay.

Komisarz and teammates Margaret Hoelzer, Tara Kirk and Maritza Correia finished the relay in 3:55.65, edging third-place China by a fraction of a second. Australia won the race in 3:51.84, setting a world record.

Komisarz, the 2004 Olympian who trains with the Lakeside Seahawks in Louisville, now has a silver and a bronze and will compete in the 100-meter butterfly on Saturday.
