The Virginia women swam to a new everything record to kick off the 2025 NCAA Championships swimming a 1:31.10 in the 200 medley relay. That broke their own record of a 1:31.51 that the team of Gretchen Walsh, Alex Walsh, Lexi Cuomo, and Kate Douglass swam at the 2023 NCAA Championships.
Split Comparison
| New Record | Old Record | |||
| Back | Claire Curzan | 23.17 | Gretchen Walsh | 22.77 |
| Breast | Alex Walsh | 25.62 | Alex Walsh | 26.3 |
| Fly | Gretchen Walsh | 20.88 | Lexi Cuomo | 22.1 |
| Free | Maxine Parker | 21.43 | Kate Douglass | 20.34 |
Today’s relay moved Gretchen Walsh to the fly leg rather than the backstroke leg and she split a 20.88, out in a 9.16 on her first 25. That split is the #2 fly split of all-time. Gretchen Walsh now holds the top 5 fly splits of all-time.
Alex Walsh also posted a big split and was over half a second faster today than she was two years ago. That is tied for the 9th fastest split of all-time.
Top 50 Fly Splits All-Time
- G. Walsh 20.87 (2025 UVA vs. VT Dual)
- G. Walsh 20.88 (2025 NCAAs)
- G. Walsh 21.07 (2025 Eddie Reese Showdown)
- G. Walsh 21.50 (2024 UVA vs. NC State vs. UNC)
- G. Walsh 21.65 (2024 UVA vs. Navy Combined Intrasquad)
Kind of crazy that the fastest 50 fly split of all time was actually done at a dual.
You can’t strikethrough 2024 Champion. Eventhough 2025’s Virginia are faster, the 2024 NCAA Champion’s time cannot remove by the time from 2025 NCAA. 😁
Exactly! Stop the strikethrough!
A Walsh was 0.11 faster than Nocentini’s time from last year’s NCAAs (that’s a good sign for Walsh) and Parker was just a little slower (21.38 vs. 21.43).
UVA women always getting those everything bagel records
Free leg so slow
UVA 4x200FR….
Canny, Moesch, Grimes, ???
Walsh maybe and then she isn’t on the 2 free relay?
Either A. Walsh or Hayes maybe??
A walsh
Probably Walsh cause she’s been on this relay for a few years
it may be a “new everything” record but is it a world record?
No. That stands at 1:27.91 by the Univ of Wuhan
queens!
