Once again, we saw Gretchen Walsh make history at an in-season meet, albeit one that made its own history. At the Eddie Reese Texas Showdown, the fastest in-season meet of all time, Walsh won the 50 free, 100 fly, and 100 free, swimming Top-10 All-Time swims in all three. Walsh also helped set an American record with the Virginia women in the 400 medley relay.
After the meet, The NCAA Champion admitted that her motivation in practice as of late had been lacking, and racing in such a fun environment helped remind her what all the hard work in December and January was for.
Gretchen Walsh was faster at the 2024 Tennessee Invitational:
50 FR – SB
50 BK – SB
100 BK – SB
200 BK – PB
100 FL – PB (NCAA Record)
…. the fastest in-season meet of all time ….
How many NCAA Records were broken?
The 2024 Tennessee Invitational was definitely faster especially on the women’s side:
NCAA Records
W 100 FL
W 200 BK
I don’t think of mid-season meets as “in-Season” but I think that’s a problem with my verbiage. I should have been more specific.
Fastest non-invite timed finals meet ever.
But also, I’m guessing top 8 at this meet was faster top to bottom in a lot of events than any invite
Perhaps the Tennessee tank is FASTER than the Texas pool? COULD BE!
NO
