In her first race since the Paris Olympic Games, Alex Walsh swam out of lane 1 in the 200 IM final in Budapest, touching for silver behind her USA teammate and training partner, Kate Douglass. In Paris, Walsh also swam the 200 IM, initially touching in 3rd place but ultimately getting disqualified, so seemingly her swim in Budapest may prove as redemption.
Alex Walsh swimming the W 200 IM, W 200 BR at the 2025 NCAA DI Women’s Swimming & Diving Championships. Book it! That’s 40 points.
As for the W 400 IM, Alex Walsh has her hands full with K. Grimes. Unfortunately, Alex Walsh may have to settle for second place. However, a one-two finish by the University of Virginia would be a slap in the face of the Longhorns fanbase. LMAO!
Alex actually had a faster last 50 freestyle leg than Kate. Very close but faster. She mentioned working on her kick in her free. Whatever she’s doing, it was noticeable watching it on TV and the splits support that. Her fly split was last in the field which was a little surprising but it was her first event back after Paris. This a few months after knee surgery. Will be fun to watch this summer. Hope she adds the 200 free and maybe the 400 IM to her international lineup (or at least go for them in trials). Loved watching her on the podium after the WR in the 800 Fr relay.
Girl, you were in Lane 1 for the 400 IM finals in Fukuoka ’23
I’ve never really “swUm”. Swim, swam, swum.
Bless Alex’s heart! What a tremendous athlete, role model and a class act!
She reminds me of Sha’carri Richardson
are you nuts?
National treasure. Highly recommend her recent Unfiltered Waters podcast conversation. She is a classy, well-spoken person and a sets a great example for young swimmers.
one of the greatest ncaa swimmers ever!
ncaa record holder 200 fly!
#2 all time 200 breast, 200im, 400im
and still great splits on sprint relays!
great splits is even understating it: multiple 49.1 swims in the 100 fly (which makes her #4 all time), 46.4 and multiple 46.5 in the 100 free, 56.7 in the 100 breast, 20.8 in the 50 free, 26.1 in the 50 breast. Probably top 4 in the NCAA right now just in sprint relays
She is an extremely humble, selfless person – it is refreshing to see. Her, Gretchen, and Kate are easily some of the best representation we had in Paris this summer. All of them are very down to earth and great models of how to carry yourself in and out of the pool.
the 3 virginia teammates hold 7 of 14 ncaa individual event records!
and all 3 swam on 3 ncaa relay event records!
Couldn’t agree more! She has the X-factor! Cannot wait to see how she does in the coming years, in and out of the pool!
Love all of the love. Champion, freak athlete, great human. Feel bad for the down voters who must be sad people.
