On night 1 of the 2025 ACC Championships, Gretchen Walsh led the UVA women’s team to an NCAA record in the 800 free relay. While Walsh clocked a 1:39.34 on the lead-off, the 2nd fastest performance ever, the relay itself finished at 6:44,13, shattering Stanford’s previous record. Last year at this same meet, UVA tried to break this record and came up three-tenths short, something Walsh said this group of women had remembered for the past year.
Gretchen could realistically win the 50/100/200 free, 100back, 100fly, and potentially even the 100 breast at NCAAs. Who else has been this versatile at this high of a level? Marchand, Dressel, Alex Walsh, and Douglass?
Alex and Kate couldn’t win all those events because Gretchen. I do wish we could have seen Kate’s 2 free though.
Personally, I am looking at the benefits for her LCM 100 free given that age dropped nearly a second in this 200 yd free. BIG swim!
And yes, all respect to Missy!
“She” not “age”! darn autocorrect
I miss Missy Franklin. Btw, did she graduate?
Imagine Gretchen’s 50 free if she has Caeleb’s start up to 15 yards. 19.7 I’d say..
If my grandmother had wheels she’d be a bike.
Missy set that record in that pool too!
love her
Missy Franklin is so underrated
That swim by Missy was insane…
Her 2015 NCAAs was bazoinkers. She anchored Cal’s 800 free relay in 1:40… and it was her 3rd 200 of the day.
Yeah, that 1:39.10 is absurd. She was truly one of the great’s and I am sad her career ended early.
Go back and watch her record race too. Simone is next to her and she absolutely smokes her!
Yeah Missy was incredible. And she’s a great person too!
