Meanwhile, Texas\u2019 <strong>Emma Sticklen<\/strong> took the top seed ahead of Georgia\u2019s <strong>Dakota Luther<\/strong> and Smith.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, defending NCAA champion <strong>Olivia Carter<\/strong> of Michigan was looming with the fourth seed as well, embracing the race of the chaser as she did a year ago, plus there was Virginia&#8217;s <strong>Alex Walsh<\/strong>, who has won both of her individual events this week, plus two more Texas swimmers looking to try and vault the Longhorns into second place in the team standings.<\/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:\/\/swimmeetresults.tech\/NCAA-Division-I-Women-2022\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Live Results<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The race lived up to expectations with Walsh and Carter out in front at the halfway point, and heading into the final turn, neck-and-neck. They turned together and approached the wall together with Walsh having just a hair more in the tank in the final yards.<\/p>\n<p>Walsh won her third title with a 1:50.79, holding off Carter who finished in 1:51.19, tying a surging <strong>Regan Smith<\/strong> for second place, who had a huge final 50 to catch the other two.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is the last session, so I tried to leave it all in the pool,\u201d Walsh said. \u201cI just wanted to get my hand to the wall first.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>That is what Smith tried to do as well.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I knew it wouldn\u2019t feel good but it was my last individual race so I wanted to leave it in the pool and stick to my own race plan. I think I did a good job of that. Making your move in a 2-fly feels great. It is super easy to crash and die in a 2-fly. But it feels awesome to get to the 150 and feel like you had some gas left in the tank. I am really proud of myself and I think I had a great finish. You can\u2019t ask for much more,&#8221; Smith said.<\/p>\n<p>Georgia\u2019s <strong>Dakota Luther<\/strong> was fourth in 1:51.80. Cal junior <strong>Rachel Klinker<\/strong> was sixth (1:52.19).<\/p>\n<p>Texas took 5-7-8 with<strong> Kelly Pash<\/strong> (1:52.01), <strong>Emma Sticklen<\/strong> (1:52.22) and <strong>Olivia Bray<\/strong> (1:52.31), scoring some big points for the Longhorns, who were closing in on Stanford with a couple of events remaining in the meet.<\/p>\n<pre><b>NCAA Event 19  Women 200 Yard
