Social Media Reacts To Gretchen Walsh’s 44.83 100 Freestyle

2024 WOMEN’S NCAA SWIMMING AND DIVING CHAMPIONSHIPS

Gretchen Walsh became the first swimmer to swim under the 45-sfond mark in the 100 freestyle swimming a 44.83 on the final night of NCAAs. She now is the fastest 100 freestyle in history by 0.73 seconds as Simone Manuel is #2 all-time.

Yeah, we want a Gretchen Walsh jersey too.
