WOMEN’S 200 FREE RELAY
- Cal, 1:26.31
- Georgia, 1:26.79
- Virginia, 1:28.74
The Cal women were just .11 shy of the NCAA Record tonight, with Abbey Weitzeil (21.8), Amy Bilquist (21.8), Valerie Hull (21.4), and Farida Osman (21.28) combining for a new school record of 1:26.31. Weitzeil holds the American Record with a 21.12 in the 50 free, so we could definitely see them breaking that NCAA Record during championship season when Weitzeil is at her peak.
The Georgia women put together a fast 1:26.79 for 2nd place. Olivia Smoliga turned in a 21.68 leadoff, while Chantal Van Landeghem swam the fastest split of the field with her 21.14 on the anchor leg.

Actually it’s a bad article at all about Missy Franklin. I was tired of too much of too sweet media or too mean and nasty criticism. Thanks for the link.
I wonder if she’ll continue to improve.
Weitzel’s American record is a 21.12 not 21.24.
