She wanted to discuss it openly and make sure both coaches knew it was about the current situation with COVID-19, which still is affecting college fall sports and could also affect winter sports if the situation doesn&#8217;t improve.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\">&#8220;My decision has nothing to do with the coaching change from Mike to Greg going into an Olympic year,&#8221; Smith said. &#8220;I feel that I have more stability with my training and facilities here in Minnesota under the current circumstances.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\">It is a big blow points-wise to Stanford, which has won the past three NCAA championships (the 2020 championships <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/ncaa-cancels-winter-championships-including-swimming-and-diving\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">were cancelled by COVID-19<\/a>). But other schools, led by the University of Virginia, have put together some impressive recruiting classes to try and close the gap. On the flip side, with the Olympics being pushed back, Smith might not be the only big name to defer.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\">Regan Smith became a big name in the world of swimming last year when she broke <strong>Missy Franklin<\/strong>\u2019s world record in the 200 backstroke 2:03.35 \u2014 a 7-year-old record at the 2019 World Championships. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/double-dip-finish-for-team-usa-as-regan-smith-and-medley-relay-take-down-world-records\/\">Then<\/a>, Smith led off the American gold-medal winning 400 medley relay in a world record of 57.57, breaking <strong>Kathleen Baker<\/strong>\u2019s mark \u2014 plus the relay broke the world record in 3:50.40.
