Top 3
- NC State – 3:24.59 – NCAA/U.S. OPEN RECORD
- Virginia – 3:25.13
- Texas – 3:27.83
Katharine Berkoff clocked a 50.07 to give NC State the lead off of the first 100, while Virginia freshman Reilly Tiltmann, who graduated high school early to join the ‘Hoo’s mid-season, was 50.42 for a huge lead-off for them, as they left off Alex Walsh.
But the Wolfpack continued to pour it on, as Sophie Hansson was 57.01, giving way to a massive 49.29 split from Kylee Alons. Senior Julia Poole, not primarily a sprint freestyler, brought it home in 48.22, enough to give NC State the title and a new NCAA and U.S. Open record of 3:24.59.
Virginia got a 57.71 from Alexis Wenger on brast and a 50.62 from Lexi Cuomo, and Kate Douglass pushed with a 46.31 anchor, not quite able to reclaim the lead. UVA still came .04 off of the old NCAA and U.S. Open record, as well as the American record (NC State didn’t get it since Hansson is Swedish).

crazy how the men’s LCM WR for this event is about the same time as the women’s SCY record…

world record downvote attempt^^^
5 downvotes in 5 hours? You think that’s going to be the World Record?
2019 Worlds Ol Longhorn and Guerra are a league above anyone else there. No one is touching that record
Maybe Bobo too
Where has Bobo been?
