Gretchen Walsh won swimmer of the meet at her final ACC Championships, sweeping her individual events (3) and relays (4) as well as setting a new ACC record in the 200 free while leading off the 800 free relay. With that record, it meant the UVA women held every single ACC record, a feat that Walsh noted she was particularly proud of being a part of.
So I looked at the previous NCAA relay champions and there have only been 7 times in history where a women’s team has had a streak of 4 years or longer in the same relay: Texas won the 4×50 free from 1987 to 1992 (5 years); Arizona won the 4×50 free from 2006 to 2009; Georgia won the 4×200 free from 2010 to 2013; and Stanford won the 4×50 free from 1994 to 1997, the 4×200 free from 1990 to 1993, and the 4×100 medley from 1990 to 1993 and 2014 to 2018 (5 years).

Gretchen Walsh could singlehandedly bankrupt the World Aquatics Swimming World Cup.
GW is the greatest yard swimmer I have ever seen. Whatever UV relay that she is on will probably set a record that will take years to break.
pretty much already true
Agree she is one of the greatest female yards swimmers in history.
Gretchen coming into NCAAs pretty much hungry for more is a scary exciting thought
A great example of a successful athlete who has no detectable sign of hubris and has a high level of emotional intelligence.
She has worked really hard with a confidence coach since 2020.
lol I’m 99% sure this is a nice complement that people defensively downvoted?
To clarify, is she eligible for a 5th year? If yes, is she just choosing not to use it?
She is not eligible, because she did not compete in the 2020-2021 NCAA season.
