West Florida senior Theresa Michalak broke her third NCAA Division II record and won her fourth individual event on Saturday, when she blasted a 48.44 in the 100 free to win by nearly a full second. Michalak got out to a very quick start, turning first at the 50 in 23.70. Wingate junior Alexis Divelbiss did her best to stay with Michalak, going out in 23.81, the only other sub-24 in the final. Michalak shut everyone down on the second half of the race, though, building her momentum and leaving a full body length of clear water behind her. With a second 50 of 24.74, Michalak hit the wall at 48.44 to take .10 off the NCAA Division II mark set by Patri Castro Ortega at this meet last year.
It was the fourth national title for Michalak, who also won the 50 free, 100 fly, and 100 breast.
