Alia Atkinson broke her Jamaican record in the women’s 100 breast with a sizzler against a loaded field at the 2015 FINA World Cup Dubai.
Atkinson threw down a 1:05.93 for the win, breaking her previous mark of 1:06.21 from the World Championships in Kazan. That swim had ranked fourth in the world this year, and tonight’s effort still left her in fourth overall.
