And then imagine that in a split-second, it was gone\u2014your time erased from record, replaced by the letters \u201cDQ.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Finally, imagine having the strength and courage to get out of the pool, walk away and smile.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s what <strong>Remedy Rule<\/strong>\u00a0did last March after the 200 fly final at the NCAA championships. Why get down, she figured, after how far she had come?<\/p>\n<p>One year earlier, she had been at her first NCAA championships as a Texas Longhorn. She had arrived in Austin as one of the top recruits in the country from Crozet, Va., but the results in year one were not what anyone had hoped for or expected. At an NCAA champs where seemingly everything was off for the Texas women, Rule\u2019s highest finish was 46th\u2014second-to-last\u2014in her signature 200 fly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know if you saw my results from my freshman year, but they were not great,\u201d Rule said.<\/p>\n<p>With almost two years having passed, the 21-year-old could joke about it, about her 2:00.45 effort that was slower than she had consistently swum in dual meets throughout the season. But back then, it was a wake-up call to make changes. So in year two, she did.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>\u201cI feel like it was a lot of little things I changed, and those little things helped me make a big change in the pool. Just finding my place at Texas and coming into my own really helped me last year,\u201d Rule said.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>\u201cIt was a lot of open communication, not being afraid to ask for help and just doing things\u2014like, I always wanted to lead the lane freshman year, but I was too afraid to because I was a freshman. But then I was like, \u2018You know, this is what I want to do,\u2019 so I did it. Just being more open with my emotions and feelings to my teammates and other people and not bottling everything in.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>When she returned to the NCAA championships in Indianapolis, Rule had grown up, become more comfortable in her place at Texas and, oh yeah, gotten a lot faster. In the 100 fly, she missed a place in the top-16 by just 0.14, but one day later, she qualified for the A-final in the 200 fly.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_263444\" style=\"width: 385px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-263444\" data-attachment-id=\"263444\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/disqualification-in-the-pool-did-not-affect-remedy-rule\/remedy-rule\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/remedy-rule-usa-nats-2017-3044.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2400,1600\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Peter H.

Bick<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Out in lane one, Rule went for it. She stayed close to pre-race favorites <strong>Ella Eastin<\/strong> and <strong>Katie McLaughlin<\/strong> through the first 150 yards. Even as she fell off the pace on the last 50, Rule had done enough to touch the wall third in 1:52.92\u2014her best time by more than a second.<\/p>\n<p>Then came the DQ. Officials said that Rule\u2019s head broke the surface past 15 meters on her start. Video evidence of whether she did or did not stay underwater too long is inconclusive, but the decision was final, with nothing Rule or anyone with the Texas team could do about it.<\/p>\n<p>After the DQ, Texas no longer controlled its own destiny in its team battle. The Longhorns stood in fourth place after the 200 fly, the final individual swimming event of the meet, but their 4&#215;100 free relay team had finished ninth in the prelims, meaning Georgia could overtake Texas for fourth by finishing first or second in the last relay, regardless of how Texas placed in the B-final.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, Texas won the B-final and Georgia took second in the A-final, finishing with 252.5 points to the Longhorns\u2019 252.<\/p>\n<p>Still, after the performance of a lifetime, Rule could not get down on herself. Just minutes after her race, during a break for platform diving, Rule was smiling.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was able to perform at finals at NCAAs in the 200 fly,\u201d she said. \u201cEven though I got DQed, the DQ didn\u2019t take away from the fact that I was able to perform at that kind of level, and just knowing that I was able to grow that much. Really, the DQ just hurt my ego. It took away the glory of standing on the podium, but it didn\u2019t take away all the hard work that I\u2019d done.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That evening, Rule proved to herself what she was capable of, and even if she did kick a couple inches too far off the start, that\u2019s not the difference in dropping a second off her best time or even the two tenths by which she beat the next finisher in the race, Virginia\u2019s <strong>Jen<\/strong> <strong>Marrkand<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_284296\" style=\"width: 385px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-284296\" data-attachment-id=\"284296\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/disqualification-in-the-pool-did-not-affect-remedy-rule\/dsc_0181\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/DSC_0181.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2599,1654\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;5.6&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;NIKON D5100&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1489645338&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;270&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;1600&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.004&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Remedy Rule\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;1\/27\/18&lt;br \/&gt;\nDSC_0181&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Photo Courtesy:  Dan D&#8217;Addona&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/DSC_0181-700x500.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/DSC_0181-1024x652.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-284296\" src=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/DSC_0181.jpg\" alt=\"DSC_0181\" width=\"375\" height=\"239\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/DSC_0181.jpg 2599w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/DSC_0181-533x339.jpg 533w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/DSC_0181-280x178.jpg 280w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/DSC_0181-1024x652.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 375px) 100vw, 375px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-284296\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Courtesy: Dan D&#8217;Addona<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Still, it\u2019s no surprise that she came away from NCAAs with a hunger to prove herself again.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter NCAAs, that was the most motivated I think I\u2019ve ever been after a championship meet to get back in the pool, kill training and race that well again,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>At U.S. Nationals over the summer, Rule qualified for the final of the 200 fly and finished eighth, dropping a second from her previous lifetime best and improving on her Olympic Trials finish by 45 spots.
