Aimee Canny on 800 Free Relay NCAA Title: “That was my last collegiate 200 Free”

2026 NCAA Division I Women’s Swimming and Diving Championships

After swimming (and scoring) in the 200 free at each of her first three NCAA Championships, Virginia senior Aimee Canny has flipped the script for her collegiate finale. This week in Atlanta, she’s swimming the 200 Breast, 400 IM, and 200 IM, notably having never focused on the 400 IM in her college career until this semester. She did fit in one more 200 free, however, as she helped the Cavaliers win another NCAA title in the 800 free relay, leading off in 1:41.68, a personal best.
