Gretchen Walsh had herself a day on Friday in the University of Virginia’s dual meet against Florida. After a banner-raising ceremony to celebrate the Cavaliers’ fourth-straight NCAA Championship, Walsh broke three American Records in the first hour of the meet before eventually finishing her day with a new World Record in the women’s 100 IM during a time trial race.
The University of Virginia has posted race videos of these swims.

Shall we be honest?
1. The NCAA’s refusal to transition from SCY to SCMs is costing college swimmers a lot of fame, publicity and straight up cash in both NIL revenue possibilities, and prize money.
Could this be intentional?
2. The dive can be followed by 15m underwater, but if we want to retain the strokes, after the turns there should be no more than 10m underwater (except breastroke, where the rules should stay as is).
