2022 Women’s NCAA Championships: Results & Records Summary

2022 NCAA DIVISION I WOMEN’S SWIMMING AND DIVING CHAMPIONSHIPS

• March 16-19, 2022
• McAuley Aquatic Center, Georgia Tech, Atlanta, Georgia
• Final Results

The Virginia Cavaliers rolled to a second consecutive title at the 2022 Women’s NCAA Division I Championships last weekend, winning 11 events en route to a 145.5-point margin of victory over runner-up Texas.

The meet was full of record-breaking performances and incredible individual efforts, led by the dynamic UVA duo of Kate Douglass and Alex Walsh, who combined for six individual wins and six U.S. Open Records (including relays). Douglass also became the first swimmer to win three NCAA titles in three different strokes. The performances of Douglass and Walsh were so good, it begs the question: are they the most dominant duo in NCAA history?

While Virginia was well in control at the top, the meet did feature some exciting team races, led by the back-and-forth battle between Texas and Stanford for the runner-up position. The Longhorns ultimately snagged second, while the Cardinal took third.
