Youth and experience shined equally for the Texas women as the defeated Indiana in Austin on Friday night. 5th year (and 2x reigning NCAA Champion in the 200 fly) Emma Sticklen and freshman Jillian Cox both broke school records, with Sticklen breaking her own record in the 100 fly (49.62) and Cox breaking Evie Pfeifer’s 3-year-old 500 free record (4:34.41).
Both had hopes of making the Olympic team this summer but came up short. Now the two longhorns have used that disappointment to motivate their training and racing throughout this NCAA season.
Ahem! If it’s any consolation, Jillian Cox was named to the women’s roster for the 2024 Short Course World Championships.

I mean that’s great, but probably not much consolation for missing an Olympic team.
It should be an honor to represent your country at any major international competition.
As for Jillian Cox, it’s a monumental task to beat Katie Ledecky and Paige Madden in the W 400 FR and W 800 FR.
