In head coach <strong>Bill Dorenkott&#8217;s<\/strong> first 11 seasons in Columbus, the team never placed higher than 13th on the national level and third at the Big Ten Championships. Since then: three consecutive conference titles, two national top-10 finishes and a team poised for perhaps its best national finish in 2023.<\/p>\n<p>The status quo of women&#8217;s college swimming centers around the University of Virginia, with returning stars\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/kate-douglass-has-built-a-special-legacy-at-uva-and-theres-more-to-come\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Kate Douglass<\/strong><\/a>,\u00a0<strong>Alex Walsh<\/strong> and\u00a0<strong>Gretchen Walsh<\/strong> expected to lead a third consecutive national-title run. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/can-torri-huske-and-claire-curzan-make-stanford-women-a-national-title-threat\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Stanford has\u00a0<strong>Torri Huske<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Claire Curzan<\/strong> and\u00a0<strong>Taylor Ruck<\/strong> surely set for big performances in March<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/emma-sticklen-dakota-luther-shine-in-200-fly-erica-sullivan-blasts-1000-free-as-texas-women-again-beat-nc-state\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Texas has depth and balance led by <strong>Kelly Pash<\/strong> and\u00a0<strong>Emma Sticklen<\/strong> plus\u00a0the elite breaststroking duo of <strong>Anna Elendt<\/strong> and <strong>Lydia Jacoby<\/strong><\/a>. NC State is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/nc-state-bringing-underrated-teams-to-texas-for-late-season-dual-meet-showdown-video\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">another team considered likely for the top-five<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>But beyond that, no group has separated from the pack, and the Buckeyes were voted fifth in the most recent CSCAA dual meet poll. Ohio State&#8217;s impressive January results include <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/texas-women-ohio-state-men-finish-off-domination-of-tri-meet-with-alabama\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a commanding win over Alabama<\/a>, last year&#8217;s fourth-place team, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/ohio-state-swims-to-historic-wins-at-michigan-women-win-for-first-time-ever-in-ann-arbor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the program&#8217;s first-ever win over archrival Michigan<\/a>. Ohio State has one loss all year, and it came in a closer-than-expected effort against Texas (in a meet held concurrently with Alabama).<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, almost all key swimmers return from Ohio State&#8217;s ninth-place effort in 2022 \u2014 a meet where Ohio State&#8217;s 165 points fell just short of Louisville (196.5), Michigan (184.5) and Cal (180).\u00a0<strong>Hannah Bach<\/strong> was the sixth-place finisher in the 100 breaststroke last year, and she performed well in long course over the summer, with finals appearances in the 100-meter breast at the U.S. International Team Trials and U.S. Nationals. In the 200 breast, the Buckeyes will turn to senior\u00a0<strong>Josie Panitz<\/strong>, who did not score last year but was a finalist in the 200-meter race at both national-level meets last year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Amy Fulmer<\/strong> only scored individually in one event last year (11th in the 50 freestyle), but she had a breakthrough long course season, swimming as fast as 54.57 in the 100-meter free, 59.87 in the 100-meter backstroke and 24.86 in the 50-meter free. It would not be implausible for Fulmer to score in three events this year while maintaining her key spot on OSU&#8217;s shorter relays.<\/p>\n<p>After five strong years with the <a href=\"https:\/\/ohiostatebuckeyes.com\/sports\/w-swim\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Buckeyes<\/a>,\u00a0<strong>Kristen Romano\u00a0<\/strong>moved on after last season, but\u00a0<strong>Katherine Zenick\u00a0<\/strong>is a returning B-finalist in the 100 fly and 100 free while\u00a0<strong>Maya Geringer<\/strong> placed ninth in the 1650 free. And those all-important relays: Ohio State placed third in the 200 medley relay last year before claiming fourth in the 200 free relay and eighth in both 400-yard relays. <strong>Emily Crane<\/strong>, a senior last year, has moved on, but depth is big, and swimmers like\u00a0<strong>Myah Funderburke<\/strong> and\u00a0<strong>Teresa Ivan<\/strong> could step into more significant roles this championship season. Versatile swimmers\u00a0<strong>Felicity Pasadyn<\/strong> and <strong>Tristan Harrison<\/strong> look set to contribute this year as well.<\/p>\n<p>Given the realities of college swimming point-scoring, a fourth-consecutive win at the conference level and a third appearance in the national top-10 look likely. And if Ohio State can produce even one or two stellar relay swims at the national meet, a spot in the exclusive top-five could be within reach.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ohio State Women Looming as Sleeper Top-Five Candidate for NCAA Championships Even diehard Buckeye fans would not confuse Ohio State&#8217;s women&#8217;s swimming and diving program with a national powerhouse.
