Eneli Jefimova, Estonia's leading female athlete, made history at the NCAA conference swimming championships by swimming the ninth fastest time ever recorded in NCAA history. Competing at NC State University, she broke the previous Estonian record while securing her first conference championship title in the 100-yard breaststroke event. Her impressive time of 56.77 seconds not only earned her the gold medal but also marked the fastest season time and set a pool record at Georgia Tech.

During the event, Jefimova initially faced tough competition from Israeli swimmer Anastasia Gorbenko, who led after the first 50 meters. However, Jefimova showcased her strength and endurance during the latter half of the race, ultimately finishing well ahead and improving her record by a remarkable 0.9 seconds throughout the day. This performance reflects Jefimova's exceptional talent and potential as she continues to compete at a high level in the NCAA.

As she prepares for the upcoming NCAA championships in March, Jefimova's achievements have boosted her profile not only as a formidable swimmer but also as an inspiring athlete representing Estonia on an international stage. Her record-breaking swim is a significant accomplishment in her sport, potentially paving the way for future opportunities and recognition within the swimming community and beyond.
