Her prelim time put her second all time behind Katie Ledecky (4:26.58).<\/p>\n<p>Smith clocked a time of 4:31.54, the 10th-fastest effort all time, to win the event.<\/p>\n<p>She joins Cara Lane as the only Virginia Cavaliers to ever win an NCAA title.

In the morning my coach just said I want you to have a strong race but be sure to bring it back fast. That morning, I thought I was going to touch 4:39 and I touched 4:32. Last year I didn\u2019t make the A-final which I was very upset about so this year I went in there with a mindset of doing anything I can to have the best race possible.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cPeople were telling me \u2018Hey, you\u2019re ahead by 5 seconds.

However, I did realize it wasn\u2019t going to take another huge drop for me to win the race.
