The second day of the 2026 women’s NCAA Championships, which consisted of the 100 fly, 400 IM, 200 free, 100 breast, and 200 free relay, has commenced—and we saw no shortage of nail-biting races. A slew of swimmers also moved up on the all time performers list, such as Moesch in the 200 free (#2), Jefimova in the 100 breast (#3), and Lucy Bell in the 400 IM (#14).
Linked below are the race videos of tonight’s session, courtesy of the NCAA on Youtube. Since the NCAA did away with B-finals this year, to watch scoring swims from prelims you can head over to a team’s youtube channel. A (non-exclusive) list of schools that post their races include: UVA, Louisville, LSU, Auburn, UCLA, Wisconsin, OSU, UGA, Texas A&M, and South Carolina.
