WITH news coming out of Fairfax, Va., that Kate Ziegler claimed the last Janet Evans American record measured in yards by downing the AR in the 1650-yard freestyle on Thursday in 15:37.17, SwimmingWorldMagazine.com Rewind looks to pay homage to the 16-year-old standard of 15:39.14 set on March 17, 1990 in Austin, Texas at the Women&#39;s NCAA Championships.<\/p>\n<p>Here is an excerpt of the story written by Russ Ewald in the May issue of 1990 as Rewind looks back to honor Evans&#39; 1650 free from that day:<\/p>\n<p><i>Because the Longhorns were considered a shoo-in for the 400 free relay, the last hope for the Cardinal lay in the 1650.<\/p>\n<p>The only Longhorn entry was Hayes, who was being asked to do a Herculean same-day double of a 1650 and 200 back. She was seeded just 12th; however, Schubert purposely had Hayes swim a slower time during the season to get her in an early heat. That gave his senior co-captain more recovery time for the 200 back.<\/p>\n<p>In the first heat of the 1650, Eva Mortensen and Karen Kraemer of Stanford went 1-3 with respective times of 16:19.33 and 16:22.18.<\/p>\n<p>Before the second heat, Schubert told Hayes her pace was OK if he kept his hat on. Even though it was St. Patrick&#39;s Day, the Texas coach wore an orange hat befitting a Texas tradition that goes back to 1884 when a special train of students dressed in that color went to Georgetown (Texas) for a baseball game.<\/p>\n<p>The heat, beginning an hour and 20 minutes before the official start of the final session, nevertheless drew the attention of the entire Texas team and a large delegation of Longhorn supporters in the stands. Schubert never removed his hat during the race as Hayes finished first in 16:04.08, less than two seconds off her runner-up time of a year ago.<\/p>\n<p><b>The meet would be on the line in the final heat with Stanford&#39;s Evans and Barb Metz, who placed fourth a year ago (16:10.01) among the eight. Shortly after the start, the only competition for Evans came from the clock. She averaged low 57s and lapped every other competitor. With a few lengths to go, the only suspense left was how far under the American record would Evans go? She touched in 15:39.14, shattering her old mark of 15:44.98 set at a Q meet last year in Long Beach. The NCAA record formerly was 15:50.86 by Florida&#39;s Tami Bruce in 1988.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;A year and a half ago, I took it out real fast, too fast,&quot; said Evans. &quot;I hurt at the end. Tonight, I didn&#39;t fall off and felt comfortable.&quot; <\/p>\n<p>About her improvement, Evans replied, &quot;I just think my turns are better and my pace, too.&quot;<\/b><\/p>\n<p>But Metz couldn&#39;t maintain her pace by the 600-yard mark.  Stanford&#39;s last opportunity to avoid a showdown in the 400 free relay was gone&#8211;Metz wound up 15th in 16:30.44. Hayes&#39; time put her second; Mortensen and Kraemer were 6th and 10th, respectively.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>For the complete <i>Swimming World Magazine<\/i> article on the 1990 Women&#39;s NCAA Championships, <a href=http:\/\/65.110.72.225\/SPIPDF\/1990WomensNCAA.pdf target=_blank>click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Premium online subscribers can view the entire May 1990 edition of the magazine, as well as any other edition of the magazine back to 1960.
