It is easy to see how dominant Kate Douglass<\/strong> has become in the sport of swimming. Three American records in three individual races at the NCAA Championships is easy for people to wrap their heads around.<\/p>\n

What is difficult to wrap their heads around is the variety of events those records and championships came in.<\/p>\n

Many dominant swimmers have had three titles, and even three records, in one meet.<\/p>\n

But no swimmer in NCAA women\u2019s history has ever won three different strokes in a single meet that involve the breaststroke, let alone three records.<\/p>\n

Now Kate Douglass has, making her the answer to a future trivia question, and transforming her legacy into one of the greatest college swimmers in history.<\/p>\n

Douglass won the 50 freestyle<\/a>, 100 butterfly<\/a> and 200 breaststroke.<\/a> There have been some 100 breaststrokers that have done well in the 50 freestyle, and some 50 freestylers that do well in the 100 butterfly.<\/p>\n

But nobody in those three events in the history of women\u2019s college swimming. In fact, she is the only swimmer to win three different strokes since Tracy Caulkins<\/strong> in the early 1980s when swimmers could swim more than three individual events. Natalie Coughlin<\/strong> had American records in freestyle, backstroke and butterfly events, but they were not set in the same meet.<\/p>\n

Those are the names she is among now, after breaking NCAA and American records this week of college swimming legends Lilly King<\/strong> and Abbey Weitzeil<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t ever thought I would come into an NCAA Championships and win all three of my events. I exceeded all expectations for myself and it is a really cool feeling,\u201d Kate Douglass said. \u201cIt was awesome that I was able to prove to myself that I was capable of what I just did. I definitely owe a lot to Todd (DeSorbo)<\/strong>. I knew my goals were going to be difficult because they are two very different races. But I love the 50 free and the 200 breast. I never really expected I was going to get American records.\u201d<\/p>\n

But those were her goals early in the season.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is funny because when I recruited her, my goal for her was to be the fastest in the NCAA in the 50 free and 200 IM. I knew early on that she was capable of something pretty special,\u201d Virginia coach Todd DeSorbo said. \u201cWith someone as versatile as Kate Douglass, I try to veer toward what excites them, and let them set those goals, what they get motivated by. She sat in my office early in the season and I asked her what her goals were, what she wanted to go after this season. And she doesn\u2019t verbalize goals often. This was the first time she did that. She said she wanted to break the American record in the 50 free and 200 breaststroke. She didn\u2019t mention the 100 fly and at that point she was only a tenth or two off of it. So I got excited to hear her say that.\u201d<\/p>\n

And she accomplished this tremendous feat head-to-head with an NCAA record holder in the butterfly (Maggie Mac Neil) and the long-course American record holder (Torri Huske) and that is just in the butterfly.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe did significantly more breaststroke training because of that, and I was a little bit concerned knowing that breaststroke work is so different, you wonder if training all of this breaststroke would take away from her freestyle or her butterfly,\u201d Virginia coach Todd DeSorbo said. \u201cBut knowing how hard she works, I knew she was capable of that, but I didn\u2019t know if she could do it all at once. It is wild to do it here against the competition she was doing it against. Maggie Mac Neil is a fierce competitor and Torri Huske is unbelievable. Then to race a lot of rivals in the 200 breaststroke and then break Lilly King\u2019s record. I mean, Lilly is arguably the best breaststroker ever. It is pretty phenomenal to see her do something like that \u2014 to say she wanted to do it then commit to doing it and actually do it.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If that wasn\u2019t enough, she was on four winning relays, all of which set an NCAA and American records \u2014 even if two of those were at the ACC Championships not this week.<\/p>\n

That is seven events \u2014 seven American records for Douglass this postseason. That is an impossible record to break, only one that could be tied.<\/p>\n

\u201cI could have seen all of this coming because she is a great trainer. She is capable and she did it. She is an amazing woman. It really just inspired all of us. We were all in awe but at the same time could see it coming,\u201d teammate and training partner Gretchen Walsh<\/strong> said.<\/p>\n

Kate Douglass won the 50 freestyle last year at the NCAA Championships and qualified for the U.S. Olympic team in the 200 IM, earning a bronze medal in Tokyo.<\/p>\n

Those are extraordinary accomplishments that happened in 2021, but as it turns out, nothing comes close to what she has already accomplished in 2022.<\/p>\n

And the year is just getting started.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
