WATCH: Gretchen Walsh Swims 1:41.32 200 SCY Freestyle on Night 2 in Knoxville

2023 TENNESSEE INVITATIONAL

Night 2 of the Tennessee Invitational did not disappoint. The Virginia women took the top 6 spots in the 200 freestyle and Gretchen Walsh won the event in a personal best time of 1:41.32, a time that would have won NCAAs last year by over a second. Last year’s 3rd place finisher at NCAAs Aimee Canny finished second here in a 1:42.93, less than half a second off of her time from NCAAs.

Although the team did not swim the 800 freestyle relay at the end of the night, their showing in the individual event bodes well for the relay.
