Gretchen Walsh turned heads with her 50 freestyle swims on day 1 of the 2020 TISCA Championships. Individually, Walsh popped a new lifetime best in the 50 free, winning in 21.59. That came shortly after a 21.20 anchor split on the Harpeth Hall 200 medley relay.
Walsh’s swim set a new National High School Record. The former mark was a 21.64 set by American Record holder Abbey Weitzeil back in 2015. Her time tonight would have placed 8th at the 2019 NCAA Championships. Her relay split would’ve also been the 3rd fastest in the 200 medley relay championship final there. Weitzeil’s 21.64 still stands as the National Public High School Record.
All-Time Top 5 Performers: 17-18 Girls 50 Free
- Simone Manuel- 21.32
- Abbey Weitzeil– 21.49
- Kate Douglass- 21.53
- Gretchen Walsh– 21.59
- Maddie Murphy- 21.76
Walsh is now the 4th fastest American 17-18 girl in history. Atop that list are Olympic sprinters Simone Manuel and Weitzeil. Earlier this season, Weitzeil became the first woman to ever break 21 seconds in the 50 yard freestyle.
hot damn I love the olympic year!
Gretchen might surprise many …..
Manuel must be on her toes come trials. US-depth make me wish a country could bring 4 swimmers to the Olympics. I want the best in the World competing.
Dang. UVA relays with 2 Walshes, Douglas and my grandmother will win NCAAs
Lmao. Which stroke leg will your grandma swim?
Grandma breaststroke? 😂😂😂
Maybe she’ll set a new NAG in the individual breaststroke too
Hahaha
BOOM!!! Take that Cal! (Weitzel) #Go Hoos
The Virginia relays are going to be lights out! When the Walsh sisters are both there.
Sooo smooth and effective in the water. Scary curve and potential. Reganish.
And she just turned 17 on January 29, so she has almost 2 years to break more 17-18 records.
She has such a monster potential on sprint. That’s scary.
agreed , the next Us speedster star
