Night 1 was fast, Virginia swam to an everything record in the 200 medley relay while Stanford captured the title in the 800 free relay. Highlighting swims you might have missed was Phoebe Bacon‘s double of the night.
Bacon, the NCAA champion 200 backstroker, swam the butterfly leg of Wisconsin’s 200 medley relay and posted a 22.28. That was the 3rd fastest butterfly split of the 200 medley relay. Bacon was back in the water 45 minutes or so later swimming a 1:42.73 helping Wisconsin move all the way up to 9th after being the 15th seed.
Stanford had two big swims as they swam to 2nd in the 200 medley relay. Lucy Thomas sits just outside of the top 10 performances all-time with a 25.72 breaststroke leg. Torri Huske split a 20.39, a time that makes her the #5 performer all-time.
Anna Peplowski had the fastest relay split of the night as the senior posted a 1:40.97 on the second leg. Indiana finished 8th in the relay overall and swam out of heat two of three. Fellow Indiana teammate Kristina Paegle anchored the team’s 200 medley relay in a 20.96, one of only three sub-21 second splits on the freestyle leg as the relay finished 10th overall. Her split was also faster than her 21.39 that she swam on night 1 a year ago.
Rooting for Bacon big time this week!
Pitt’s Sophie Yendell had the second fastest fly split behind G Walsh. Big things coming
What about Nordmann’s 1:41.16 split? That has to be her best split.
