CALIFORNIA&#039;s Elizabeth Pelton came through with the swim of the meet, becoming the first swimmer to clear 1:48 in the 200-yard backstroke as she went out calm and brought it home fast at the NCAA Division I Women&#039;s Championships.<\/p>\n<p>Pelton went out in 25.93, and 53.05, 1:20.46, and had enough left to put up a final 27.38 split to race to a sizzling time of 1:47.84.  That&#039;s the first 1:47 in the history of the event, blasting Gemma Spofforth&#039;s NCAA and U.S. Open record of 1:48.34 set back in 2009 during the techsuit era.  The time also bettered Pelton&#039;s American record of 1:48.39 set earlier this month at the Pacific 12 Championships.  The crowd welcomed the swim with a standing ovation.<\/p>\n<p>California has now won the 200-yard backstroke five times.  Natalie Coughlin won in 2001, 2002 and 2003, while Helen Silver took home the 2006 title as well.<\/p>\n<p>Missouri&#039;s Dominique Bouchard took home second-place honors with a 1:50.06 to move to seventh in event&#039;s history.  That time bettered her preliminary effort of 1:50.94.  Florida&#039;s Elizabeth Beisel wound up taking third in 1:51.17 after going out with Pelton at the 50-yard mark.  Beisel already stands fifth in the event&#039;s history with a sterling 1:49.82.<\/p>\n<p>USC&#039;s Kendyl Stewart (1:51.28), Stanford&#039;s Maya DiRado (1:51.34), Florida&#039;s Sinead Russell (1:51.87), Indiana&#039;s Brooklyn Snodgrass (1:52.12) and Texas&#039; Sarah Denninghoff (1:53.72) also competed in the historic championship heat.  Arizona&#039;s Bonnie Brandon raced to a 1:51.41 to win the B final, bettering her personal best of 1:51.49 and moving to 14th all time in the event.  <\/p>\n<p>Georgia remained in the lead with 329 points, while California cut the gap a bit with a second-place tally of 311.  Tennessee (263.5), Arizona (255) and Texas A&#038;M (249) made up the rest of the top five.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Editorial coverage sponsored by SpeedoUSA INDIANAPOLIS, Indiana, March 23.
