WOMEN’S 400 FREE RELAY
- NCAA ‘A’ Cut: 3:14.40
- NCAA ‘B’ Cut: 3:16.32
Top 3:
- Virginia ‘A’ relay — 3:11.34 (EXH)
- Florida ‘B’ relay — 3:18.37
- Virginia ‘B’ relay — 3:20.96 (EXH)
Virginia exhibitioned all of their teams for their relays, so Florida’s Talia Bates (49.37), Micayla Cronk (49.98), Katie Mack (49.68), and Ekaterina Nikonova (49.34) technically won in a 3:18.37. Virginia’s Gretchen Walsh (47.61), Kate Douglass (47.08), Maxine Parker (48.22), and Alex Walsh (48.43) touched the wall first with a time of 3:11.34 though, obliterating the NCAA ‘A’ cut time by over three seconds.
Walsh’s 47.61 leadoff time concludes a series of incredible performances from her today. It would have been fast enough to score at NCAAs, and is the third-fastest time of the season behind MacNeil and Douglass’ marks.
FINAL SCORES:
Men: Florida 189, Virginia 111
Women: Virginia 180, Florida 115
As expected, Florida won on the men’s side and Virginia won on the women’s side of the meet. Florida did beat Virginia 304-291 in the combined team scoring, although that likely wouldn’t have been the case if the Virginia women didn’t exhibition several of their events.

The addition of Maxine Parker seems to be working out very well for UVA and Maxine — 22.2 unsuited in October bodes very well for her and bolsters the UVA relays even further. Separately – it looks like S. African star Aimee Canny hasn’t raced yet – but she’s on the website roster. Any word on her?
She’s coming spring semester.
That pic is creepy
Just saying
This headline makes it sound like the “they” is Florida.
Didn’t Florida men exhibition several of their events as well? Maybe it evened out.
Doesn’t look like it
My bad, read it wrong.
