Siobhan Haughy on Racing Mallory Comerford, Focusing on Post Season (Video)

ACC VS BIG TEN COLLEGE CHALLENGE

After the first day of competition at the ACC vs Big Ten College Challenge at Purdue, the women’s meet looks to be all but decided and the men’s is still very much up for grabs.

The Big Ten women lead the ACC 123-44, while the men hold a three-point advantage of 85-82. This morning’s schedule will have the 200 medley relay open things up and the 400 free relay close things off, with the 1000 free, 200 free, 100 back, 100 breast, 200 fly, 50 free and 200 IM being contested individually.

On day 1 nearly every event was won it was stood up to be the fastest time in the NCAA so far this season. For a full event-by-event recap, click here.

1:42+ for the 200mm in November is very fast, actually 1:42+ is fast in March.
Add Ruck to the mix, and will Missy’s record of 1:39 stand at the end of the season?
Exciting possibilities with so many very fast women.

Missy somehow went out in 47.9, that’s incredible. That’s like when Conger took his 200 Fly out in 45 mid. Missy was 1:39.1, so someone will have to go out in 48.5 and be back in 50.6. That is not going to be easy. Even though Comerford, Haughey, and Ruck will be pushing each other, 1:39.1 is still 1:39.1. I don’t see that going down this year.
