Can anyone catch Beata Nelson?<\/strong><\/p>\nWisconsin’s Beata Nelson<\/strong> stunned the NCAA field by winning the 100 back, 200 back and 200 IM at last year’s NCAA championships.<\/p>\nShe took down Stanford’s Ella Eastin<\/strong> in the 200 IM and held off a plethora of elite backstrokers like Cal’s Amy Bilquist<\/strong>, Stanford’s Taylor Ruck<\/strong>, Michigan’s Maggie MacNeil<\/strong> and Kentucky’s Asia Seidt<\/strong>.<\/p>\nNelson will face Auburn’s Sonnele Oeztuerk<\/strong> in the 200 back at the NC State invite, as well as NC Stat’s Kylee Alons<\/strong>. These will be big early tests for Nelson, who has the top time in the 100 back so far this season in 51.31. Alons is at 53.02, seventh-fastest so far.<\/p>\nThe big showdown could be in the 200 back as Nelson, who again has the fastest time in the NCAA this year at 1:52.49, will face Oeztuerk, who is third at 1:53.25. If that wasn’t enough, NC State’s Emma Muzzy<\/strong> has the fourth-fastest time this year in 1:54.00.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n

How fast is freshman Kate Douglass?<\/strong><\/p>\nVirginia’s Kate Douglass<\/strong> has been nothing short of dominant as a freshman, already having asserted her presence on the national stage. But now, Douglass will be competing head to head with some of the top contenders.<\/p>\nThe freshman from Pelham, N.Y., has the top time in the NCAA this year so far in the 200 breaststroke (2:07.92) as well as the top time in the 200 IM (1:55.15).<\/p>\n
At the Tennessee invite, Douglass will be up against Tennessee All-American Meghan Small<\/strong> as well as Georgia senior stud Veronica Burchill<\/strong>.<\/p>\nThis early test for the trio could bring out some early eye-opening times across the board.<\/p>\n

Will Florida show up like a top-ranked women’s NCAA swimming team?<\/strong><\/p>\nThe Gators have earned the top ranking for the first time in more than a decade. They have enjoyed plenty of great performances, led by Sherridon Dressel<\/strong> (backstroke and sprint free) and Vanessa Pearl<\/strong> (breaststroke and IM). Leah Brasewell<\/strong> has put together a strong 500 free already at 4:46.38. Rosie Zavaros<\/strong> has shined in the 200 back (1:54.94).<\/p>\nThe big test this weekend will be their relays. For the Gators to finish as high as they are hoping at the NCAA championships, the relays will have to be strong. Facing deep times at the Georgia Tech invite like Alabama and North Carolina, this will be a perfect chance for the Gators to showcase their strong relays.<\/p>\n

Which Hansson will have the best start?<\/strong><\/p>\nUSC’s Louise Hansson<\/strong> and NC State’s Sophie Hansson<\/strong> enjoyed their first season swimming together in the NCAA, although the Swedish stars were competing for schools on opposite sides of the country.<\/p>\nLast year, Louise continued her dominance in the 100 fly, claiming the NCAA title and breaking the NCAA record in the event.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Sophie was a freshman who had a breakout season in the breaststroke for the Wolfpack. She became the key component in rounding out their relays and will be even bigger for NC State this year.<\/p>\n
Louise will compete with the Trojans as the Texas A&M invite and will also have her first of many showdowns with Standford this season.<\/p>\n
Sophie will compete at the NC State invite, where she will go up against upstart Duke as well as Wisconsin, Auburn and Arizona State.<\/p>\n

How will the Women’s NCAA Swimming sprinters fare with an early taper?<\/strong><\/p>\nDouglass could also swim the 50 freestyle this weekend. She has the fourth-fastest time of the season in 22.12. If she does, she will go head-to-head with Tennessee’s Erika Brown<\/strong>, who is second this season in 21.96 and set the NCAA record at the SEC championships last year.<\/p>\nOther sprinters will be looking for open water in races across the country.<\/p>\n
USC’s Marta Ciesla<\/strong> and Arkansas’ Anna Hopkin<\/strong> each have turned in 22.21 times this season, tied for seventh fastest this season.<\/p>\nAuburn has seen strong performances from Julie Meynen<\/strong> (22.05) and Claire Fisch<\/strong> (22.18) this season.<\/p>\nMissouri’s Sarah Thompson<\/strong> (22.13), Indiana’s Cora Dupre<\/strong> (22.37), Virginia’s Morgan Hill<\/strong> (22.52) and Duke’s Alyssa Marsh<\/strong> (22.54) will also be on display in a variety of invites across the country.<\/p>\nThis is a perfect chance to work on starts and turns and get some top-level competition with mid-season taper.<\/p>\n
