Day two of the 2026 British Universities & Colleges (BUCS) Long Course Championships unfolded tonight from Ponds Forge, with Stirling ace Angharad Evans putting up an impressive performance to take the women’s 100m breaststroke.
The 23-year-old stopped the clock a time of 1:06.06, beating the field by over two seconds in the process.
Behind her was 23-year-old Anna Morgan who collected silver in 1:08.23 followed by Hallam’s Charlotte Bianchi who rounded out the podium in 1:09.52.
As for Evans, she opened in 31.32 and closed in 34.74 to get the job done, registering a season-best with her outing, crushing her previous time of 1:07.13 established at December’s Queensland Championships.
In fact, Evans’ 1:06.06 checks in as the 9th-swiftest time of her career, one which boasts the British national record of 1:05.37 from lasta year’s Aquatics GB Championships. At the 2025 World Championships, Evans settled for a disappointing 18th place with a mark of 1:07.04.
Evans now ranks 3rd in the world this season, tying China’s Yang Chang.

Additional Notes
- The men’s and women’s 400m IM races were won by Olympians Max Litchfield and Freya Colbert, respectively. Litchfield held steady at 4:20.03 while Colbert clocked 4:47.44. Colbert also anchored her squad’s women’s 4x100m free relay team in a spicy split of 53.16 to contribute to silver.
Freya Colbert split 53.16 in the 400 Free relay! Honestly our 400 Free relay looks so promising for LA now. We’ve also got Okaro and Theodora Taylor rapidly improving.
Hopefully Anderson can rediscover her 2020 ISL form now that she’s had surgery for endometriosis which has been apparently affecting her performances for a few years.
