Berkoff edged Walsh to win the 100 backstroke on Saturday as both swimmers were under the previous American record.<\/p>\n<p>In the 100 free final, all eyes were on the same duo, and of course, Penn&#8217;s <strong>Lia Thomas<\/strong> who was competing in her final event of the meet and Yale&#8217;s <strong>Iszac Henig<\/strong>, a transgender male who has not undergone any hormonal therapy or changes.<\/p>\n<p>Virginia freshman Gretchen Walsh claimed her first NCAA individual title with a 46.05 performance in the 100 freestyle. Her time is fourth-best all time in the event.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBeing able to come here and do stuff like this is amazing,\u201d Walsh said. We all proved something to ourselves at this meet. It couldn\u2019t have gone better. It is just a matter of time before we do something that is history in the making.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Alabama\u2019s <strong>Morgan Scott<\/strong> was second in 46.78, followed by Berkoff (46.95).<\/p>\n<p>Scott took the lead at the 50 turn before Walsh used strong underwater to take the lead at the 75 turn.<\/p>\n<p>Alabama had two in the top four as <strong>Cora Dupre<\/strong> took fourth from Lane 1 with a time of 47.08.<\/p>\n<p>Louisville\u2019s <strong>Gabi Albiero<\/strong> finished fifth (47.32) tied with Henig. North Carolina\u2019s <strong>Grace Countie<\/strong> was seventh (47.36), followed by Thomas (48.18).<\/p>\n<p>Thomas received more cheers than she did earlier in the week and Henig was met with a decent amount of cheers as well both in race introductions and on the podium.<\/p>\n<p>Walsh said she thought of everyone an opponent, but realized the NCAA history of the event.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I never expected this to happen, and I don&#8217;t think (many did),&#8221; Walsh said. &#8220;This year is historical for so many reasons. I knew I would be racing Lia and I was treating everyone as a fair competitor. I came here to do the best for me and I was really happy with my swim.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>With a good number of stars in the consolation final, it had the feel and energy of a final from the crowd and the fellow swimmers.<\/p>\n<p>Huske won the B final from Lane 1 with a time of 46.98 to finish ninth. Mac Neil was next, 10th overall, in 47.42, followed by Michigan teammate <strong>Lindsay Flynn<\/strong> (47.67).<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/results\/2022-ncaa-womens-championships-day-4-prelims-results-day-4\/ncaa-college\/2022\/March\/19?rtn=%2Fresults%2F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Day 4 Prelims Results<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/results\/2022-ncaa-womens-championships-day-4-finals-heat-sheets-day-4\/ncaa-college\/2022\/March\/19?rtn=%2Fresults%2F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Day 4 Finals Heat Sheets<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/swimmeetresults.tech\/NCAA-Division-I-Women-2022\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Live Results<\/a><\/p>\n<pre><b>Event 17  Women 100 Yard Freestyle<\/b>\r\n=========================================================================\r\n         NCAA: N 45.56  3\/18\/2017 Simone Manuel, Stanford\r\n         Meet: M 45.56  3\/17\/2017 Simone Manuel, Stanford\r\n     American: A 45.56  3\/18\/2017 Simone Manuel, Stanford\r\n      US Open: O 45.56  3\/18\/2017 Simone Manuel, Stanford\r\n         Pool: P 46.70  3\/19\/2016 Olivia Smoliga, Georgia\r\n    Name                 Year School            Prelims     Finals Points \r\n=========================================================================\r\n<b>                       === Championship Final ===                        <\/b>\r\n \r\n  1 Walsh, Gretchen        FR Virginia            46.78      46.05P  20  \r\n    r:+0.75  22.10        46.05 (23.95)\r\n  2 Scott, Morgan          SR Alabama             47.27      46.78   17  \r\n    r:+0.65  22.08        46.78 (24.70)\r\n  3 Berkoff, Katharine     JR NCSU                46.89      46.95   16  \r\n    r:+0.67  22.41        46.95 (24.54)\r\n  4 Dupre, Cora            JR Alabama             47.51      47.08   15  \r\n    r:+0.60  22.54        47.08 (24.54)\r\n  5 Henig, Iszac           JR Yale                47.55      47.32   13.5\r\n    r:+0.60  22.65        47.32 (24.67)\r\n  5 Albiero, Gabi          SO Louisville          47.45      47.32   13.5\r\n    r:+0.60  22.90        47.32 (24.42)\r\n  7 Countie, Grace         SR UNC                 47.50      47.36   12  \r\n    r:+0.73  22.67        47.36 (24.69)\r\n  8 Thomas, Lia            5Y Penn                47.37      48.18   11  \r\n    r:+0.73  23.19        48.18 (24.99)\r\n \r\n<b>                        === Consolation Final ===                        <\/b>\r\n \r\n  9 Huske, Torri           FR Stanford            48.12      46.98    9  \r\n    r:+0.60  22.32        46.98 (24.66)\r\n 10 MacNeil, Maggie        SR Michigan            47.77      47.42    7  \r\n    r:+0.63  22.65        47.42 (24.77)\r\n 11 Flynn, Lindsay         FR Michigan            47.94      47.67    6  \r\n    r:+0.66  22.88        47.67 (24.79)\r\n 12 Alons, Kylee           SR NCSU                48.02      47.68    5  \r\n    r:+0.64  22.77        47.68 (24.91)\r\n 13 Ivey, Isabel           SR California          47.61      47.71    4  \r\n    r:+0.70  22.76        47.71 (24.95)\r\n 14 Zenick, Katherine      SO Ohio St             47.91      47.85    3  \r\n    r:+0.61  22.88        47.85 (24.97)\r\n 15 Antoniou, Kalia        SR Alabama             47.84      47.93    2  \r\n    r:+0.67  23.16        47.93 (24.77)\r\n 16 Bates, Talia           JR Florida             48.14      47.95    1  \r\n    r:+0.70  23.13        47.95 (24.82)<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 2022 NCAA Women\u2019s Division I Swimming and Diving Championships continued with the finals of the 100 freestyle.
