Gretchen Walsh is unstoppable, posting another “everything” record in the women’s 100 butterfly. The Virginia senior swam to a 47.35 in tonight’s final. That swim broke her own records of a 47.42 that she swam at 2024 NCAAs.

Walsh was out fast tonight, getting under the 22-second mark again. Like NCAAs, she also was out under the 10-second mark at the 25 with a 9.97 tonight.

Walsh now holds the top 6 performances in history and is the only swimmer to go under the 48-second mark, a time that she has now done twice.
