Kate Douglass led Virginia off with a 21.06 split to give them the lead on the first leg. Last year, Douglass split a 21.09 leadoff. Gretchen Walsh anchored in a 20.58 for the Hoos to secure the win. G. Walsh’s split was the fastest split of the night.

Alabama had the third fastest split on both the second and third legs as they took the lead from Virginia at the 150 mark, but Walsh’s split, propelled by a powerful underwater, was enough to take the lead back.

Missouri’s Sarah Thompson had the fastest second leg of any of the field with a 21.23 which helped the relay win the second heat as well as finish in eighth place. The Tigers were seeded tenth coming into the meet. Last year, Thompson split a 21.25 when the Tigers finished fourth.

Michigan’s Maggie MacNeil had the fastest third leg of 21.15 to help the Wolverines finish seventh overall. That split was the same exact split that she went at the meet a year ago when she was the second leg for the Wolverines 16th place finishing relay.

And beating Tennessee! Great for Razorbacks – a sad decline for Vol Nation.
