Kelsi Worrell (born July 15, 1994) is an American competition swimmer specialized in the butterfly. At the 2015 Pan American Games in Toronto, she won the gold medal in the 100-meter butterfly.[1][4]

Born in Voorhees Township, New Jersey, Worrell grew up in Westampton Township, New Jersey. She attended Rancocas Valley Regional High School in Mount Holly, where she graduated as part of the class of 2012.[3]

She holds the American record in the 100-yard butterfly, breaking the 13-year-old record held by Natalie Coughlin, and becoming the first woman to break 50 seconds in the event.[5]
