The 2019-20 NCAA<\/a> Division I swimming and diving season is coming fast. There have been a lot of changes in the national landscape like there are with every year but with the Olympics coming up at the end of next summer, a lot of the top athletes elected to sit out this season to focus on long course training.<\/p>\n

Swimming World\u00a0<\/em>has compiled all of the scorers from last year’s NCAA Championships and what each event will look like with this year’s returning swimmers.<\/p>\n

Last year, one of the best classes of the decade<\/a> graduated with the likes of\u00a0Ella Eastin<\/strong>,\u00a0Lilly King\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Mallory Comerford <\/strong>saying goodbye to college swimming. Those three, along with\u00a0Ally McHugh<\/strong>, will not be back to defend their national titles.<\/p>\n

This leaves the door wide open in a couple events, most notably the 100 and 200 breast, where a new champion will be crowned after King swept those two events each of the last four years. In the 200 free, the top three finishers will not be back this year with Comerford and\u00a0Siobhan Haughey\u00a0<\/strong>graduating and\u00a0Taylor Ruck<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>taking an Olympic redshirt.<\/p>\n

Eastin has also exhausted her eligibility after sweeping the 400 IM titles the last four years, leaving the door wide open for Stanford teammate\u00a0Brooke Forde\u00a0<\/strong>or potentially Northwestern’s Calypso Sheridan<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Cal’s\u00a0Abbey Weitzeil<\/strong>, Wisconsin’s\u00a0Beata Nelson\u00a0<\/strong>and USC’s\u00a0Louise Hansson<\/strong> figure to rake up a lot of points for their respective schools as they all return with the target on their back this year, coming in as defending champions as well as Stanford’s Forde.<\/p>\n

50 Free<\/h3>\n

Cal senior\u00a0Abbey Weitzeil <\/strong>won her first individual NCAA title last year after winning the 50 free. The only question for her left is can she break 21 seconds and be the first woman to do so? She was a 21.02 in winning in 2019 and will have a tough field with her with the likes of Tennessee’s\u00a0Erika Brown<\/strong>, Arkansas’\u00a0Anna Hopkin<\/strong> and Michigan’s\u00a0Maggie MacNeil<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Also not to be forgotten is Virginia freshman\u00a0Kate Douglass<\/strong>, who would have placed in the A-Final with her best time of 21.67. The Cavaliers have a strong team brewing in Charlottesville and will be looking to become a top four team in the next few seasons.<\/p>\n

      Arkansas’\u00a0Anna Hopkin\u00a0<\/strong>is the top returner in the 100 free as she finished as the runner-up in one of the quickest A-Finals in history with five of the eight fastest performers all-time in the same heat. Cal’s\u00a0Abbey Weitzeil\u00a0<\/strong>was fourth in the final but showed a lot of courage after hyper extending her elbow the night before in the 200 medley relay. If Weitzeil is completely healthy, then she will be tough to beat. But Hopkin won’t go down easy after making her first World Championship final in the 50 free this past summer.<\/p>\n

              Brooke Forde\u00a0<\/strong>had a nice coming out party in winning the 500 at NCAAs last year as a sophomore and now she returns as the heavy favorite to repeat. But like mentioned earlier, Virginia’s Madden is building off a summer where she won the silver in the 200 free at the World University Games with a 1:58.31 in long course. Michigan freshman\u00a0Kaitlynn Sims\u00a0<\/strong>could turn some heads in the distance events as she enters her first year under legendary distance coach\u00a0Josh White<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

                  Defending champion\u00a0Ally McHugh\u00a0<\/strong>is out this year, leaving the 1650 wide open. But the title may stay within the Big Ten as three of the four quickest returners comes from the conference with Ohio State’s\u00a0Molly Kowal <\/strong>and Michigan’s\u00a0Sierra Schmidt<\/strong>. However, Hawaii’s\u00a0Phoebe Hines\u00a0<\/strong>had the quickest best time of anyone returning this year but she swam that at the Art Adamson Invite in November. Hines was fifth in 2019 and it was the first time she ever swam at night at NCAAs, so will that experience propel her to a better performance in 2020?<\/p>\n

                      Wisconsin’s\u00a0Beata Nelson\u00a0<\/strong>lowered the American record in 2019 and her best time is a second and a half quicker than anyone returning this year. Cal’s\u00a0Izzy Ivey\u00a0<\/strong>and Michigan’s\u00a0Maggie MacNeil\u00a0<\/strong>had stellar freshman seasons, so how will they come back for encores as sophomores? Not to be forgotten is NC State freshman Katharine Berkoff<\/strong>, whose best time put her in the A-Final last year. Berkoff gained valuable experience this past summer when she won the 100 back at the 2019 World University Games with a 59.2 in long course, which is faster than any current woman in college has swum. NC State has had a good track record of getting good recruits and making them even faster so that trend should continue with Berkoff, which could be dangerous for the rest of the nation.<\/p>\n

That leaves the 200 back as one of the most anticipated events this year with Wisconsin’s Beata Nelson set to defend her title and Kentucky’s\u00a0Asia Seidt\u00a0<\/strong>looking to win her first individual title for the Wildcats as a senior. Wisconsin and Kentucky have not been known as traditional powerhouses in swimming but Nelson and Seidt have changed that in their careers, opening the door for their respective schools to step up their game in recruiting and relays. As of now, the title should come between those two with the addition of NC State’s Berkoff, who would have been fourth last year with her best time.<\/p>\n

Minnesota’s\u00a0Lindsey Kozelsky\u00a0<\/strong>will also be one to watch as she was second as a freshman in 2017, third as a sophomore in 2018 and fourth last year. Will she continue to trend downward or will she finally come out on top? Not to be forgotten is Michigan’s\u00a0Miranda Tucker<\/strong>, who was second in both 2016 and 2018. And even though King has moved on, Indiana has a new breaststroker in tow in freshman\u00a0Emily Weiss<\/strong>, who could very well continue the IU tradition in this event.<\/p>\n

                                  Much like the 100, the 200 breast is equally wide open with no\u00a0Lilly King\u00a0<\/strong>and no\u00a0Sydney Pickrem<\/strong>. NC State’s Hansson is the top returner in the 200 as well, with Kentucky’s\u00a0Bailey Bonnett\u00a0<\/strong>and Indiana’s\u00a0Noelle Peplowski\u00a0<\/strong>in tow. The Hoosiers may have lost King but have two solid replacements in Peplowski and freshman\u00a0Emily Weiss<\/strong>, who have national title potential in both the 200 and 100 respectively if they can replicate what they did last year.<\/p>\n

                                  Texas A&M’s\u00a0Anna Belousova\u00a0<\/strong>was a 2:04 at SEC’s last year which is much quicker than Hansson’s 2:06, but she went 2.5 seconds slower at NCAAs. In fact, Belousova has gone quicker at SEC’s each of the last two seasons which should be a source of motivation for her in her junior season.<\/p>\n

                                  Georgia’s\u00a0Zoie Hartman\u00a0<\/strong>and Virginia’s\u00a0Ella Nelson\u00a0<\/strong>were both 2:07’s last year and will be interesting dark horse picks in their freshmen seasons.<\/p>\n

                                      One of the most anticipated matchups of the NCAAs this year should be NCAA record holder Louise Hansson\u00a0<\/strong>and reigning World Champion Maggie MacNeil\u00a0<\/strong>in the 100 butterfly. Hansson got the better of MacNeil last year but it was the latter that shocked everyone in winning the World title<\/a> this past summer.\u00a0<\/strong>Hansson will be looking to win her third straight title while MacNeil will be looking for her first. Tennessee’s\u00a0Erika Brown\u00a0<\/strong>will also factor into the top three as she was a 49.8 at SEC’s last season. If all three women are on point in Athens next year, then it could very well take a 48 to win.<\/p>\n

                                          200 Fly<\/h3>\n

                                          USC’s Hansson won her first 200 fly NCAA title last year in upsetting two-time champ\u00a0Ella Eastin<\/strong> of Stanford. Hansson returns with the target on her back this year and if she is upstaged, it could potentially be by Louisville’s\u00a0Grace Oglesby\u00a0<\/strong>or Stanford’s\u00a0Katie Drabot<\/strong>. It is hard to call Drabot an underdog after winning the bronze medal in this event at the World Championships but she had a disappointing junior season after getting second in 2018. If last year was a fluke, then Drabot is definitely a favorite to take down Hansson, but she doesn’t quite have the short course pedigree like her Pac-12 rival.<\/p>\n

                                          Louisville’s Oglesby had a great 200 fly last year, coming on strong to finish third last season. Another 25 and she might have out-touched Hansson in winning the gold. Now in her senior year, she will be looking to keep Louisville in the top four for the second straight season.<\/p>\n

                                              200 IM<\/h3>\n

                                              Half of last year’s 200 IM A-Final has graduated. This was the event\u00a0Beata Nelson\u00a0<\/strong>made a name for herself last year, winning Wisconsin’s second national title in women’s swimming by upsetting record holder\u00a0Ella Eastin<\/strong>. Nelson moved up to second all-time with that swim as a junior, so what does she have for an encore in her senior year? Is anyone capable of upsetting her? USC’s\u00a0Louise Hansson\u00a0<\/strong>is next in line but Tennessee’s\u00a0Meghan Small\u00a0<\/strong>was a 1:51 at SEC’s, much quicker compared to her 1:53.5 from NCAAs. If Small can replicate her SEC swim, then she would be a popular upset pick, but right now this looks to be Nelson’s to lose.<\/p>\n

                                                1. Zoie Hartman, Georgia, 1:54.62<\/li>\n
                                                2. Kate Douglass, Virginia, 1:56.09<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                                                  400 IM<\/h3>\n

                                                  Four-time 400 IM champion Ella Eastin\u00a0<\/strong>has moved on and so has runner-up\u00a0Sydney Pickrem<\/strong>. That leaves\u00a0Brooke Forde\u00a0<\/strong>of Stanford as the national title favorite. Forde seems to perform well under pressure, having anchored Stanford’s 800 free relay last year and perfectly pacing a 500 free to a title last year. But now with the target on her back, how will she react? Out of all the women in the NCAA, Forde is the only one to break 4:00 and she has done that the last two years so she will be tough to beat.<\/p>\n

                                                  Northwestern’s\u00a0Calypso Sheridan\u00a0<\/strong>will be a popular upset pick if she continues to swim the way she did last year, having placed fourth in this event. The Wildcat from Australia dropped eight seconds off her best time last year so the question is what does she have up her sleeve as an encore?<\/p>\n
