The Russians have a much smaller squad this year, and might have trouble finishing in the top three on the medal table.<\/p>\n<p>The American women\u2019s team is pretty much entirely new to the World University Games experience, a telling sign about the rapidly-changing landscape of women\u2019s swimming in the United States. <strong>Chelsea Chenault<\/strong> and <strong>Sarah Henry<\/strong> are the only American medalists from 2013 to return to the meet, while 2011 participant <strong>Shannon Vreeland<\/strong> is back as a strong leader in and out of the pool.<\/p>\n<p>Chenault was part of the winning 800 free relay in 2013, and will likely earn another gold medal. The Americans might be the only team to break 8:00 in the event, a great accomplishment given that this is not Team USA\u2019s top squad. As for Henry, she was the silver medalist in the 200 IM at the 2013 meet, but is in line for gold in the 400 IM. Henry won the NCAA title in the event, and will use the momentum to carry her to a possible first international gold medal.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_58214\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Henry-Sarah1-e1426894681611.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-58214\" data-attachment-id=\"58214\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/southern-california-takes-top-spot-swimming-coaches-poll\/henry-sarah-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Henry-Sarah1-e1426894681611.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"3460,2410\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.5&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;David Farr&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Canon EOS REBEL T3i&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1403414275&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;50&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;200&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0004&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Henry, Sarah\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Henry, Sarah&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Photo Courtesy: David Farr&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Henry-Sarah1-e1426894681611-700x500.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Henry-Sarah1-e1426894681611-1024x713.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Henry-Sarah1-e1426894681611-700x500.jpg\" alt=\"Henry, Sarah\" width=\"700\" height=\"500\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-58214\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-58214\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Courtesy: David Farr<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Look for Vreeland to be in the medal hunt of the 200 freestyle, and with her 100 freestyle prowess staying strong, she could get a medal there as well. Nonetheless, her relay expertise (she&#8217;s swimming both freestyle relays at the world championships) will come in handy in South Korea.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Abbey Weitzeil<\/strong> is in line to sweep the sprint freestyles for the United States as she uses the meet as a warmup for the 400 free relay at the world championships. Weitzeil has been making big strides in the long course pool since earning a spot on the world championship relay team, and she\u2019ll be attempting to put up some quick times in the 50 and 100 freestyles.<\/p>\n<p>Italy and Ireland look to be two teams that could do well in the women\u2019s competition. <strong>Martina de Memme<\/strong> is the only returning women\u2019s swimming champion from the 2013 meet, and she\u2019ll be looking to defend her 400 and 800 freestyle titles for Italy. <strong>Leah Smith<\/strong>, the new <a href=http:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/virginias-leah-smith-unleashes-ncaa-record-in-500-free\/ target=_blank>NCAA record holder in the 500-yard freestyle<\/a>, is going to be tough in the 400-meter free. Look for her to approach her lifetime best of 4:06.28, which she\u2019ll need to win gold. <strong>Martina Caramignoli<\/strong> of Italy will be toying with the 16:00 barrier in the 1500 freestyle, which might be too fast for her competitors. <strong>Katy Campbell<\/strong>, the reigning long course 1500 freestyle national champion, might be Team USA\u2019s best chance to hold the Italian at bay, if she elects to swim the non-Olympic event.<\/p>\n<p>Ireland\u2019s <strong>Grainne Murphy<\/strong> is on the comeback trail after taking some time away from the pool after the 2012 Olympics. Some time training in France has helped her get back into form, and she\u2019ll be looking for distance freestyle medals in South Korea. Murphy comes into the meet with arguably the most international racing experience, so we\u2019ll see if that helps her in the coming days.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_133266\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/990971.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-133266\" data-attachment-id=\"133266\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/irish-open-offered-look-into-swimmings-crystal-ball\/2015-irish-open-swimming-championships-evening-session-saturday-2nd-may-22\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/990971.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1500,930\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;4&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;SPORTSFILE&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;NIKON D4S&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;2 May 2015; Grainne Murphy, New Ross, after competing in the final of the women&#039;s 400m freestyle event during the 2015 Irish Open Swimming Championships at the National Aquatic Centre, Abbotstown, Dublin.
