Alex Walsh<\/strong>.<\/p>\n“We were trying to figure out our lineup and I wasn’t sure I would be on this relay,” Walsh said. “We just wanted to get ahead. I saw Taylor there and she is one of the greatest 200 freestylers ever, so I just wanted to stay with her and also give us a lead. I tried to give it all I had and it hurt, but it was a big win for us.”<\/p>\n
Walsh had just swam the breaststroke leg of the winning 200 medley relay as Virginia broke the NCAA and American record.<\/p>\n
“I have really worked on having more poise before my races,” she said. “I wasn’t super happy with by breaststroke split, but the last thing I wanted to do is let that affect me on the next relay. We knew it was going to be a close one. But that relay was so much fun because we were the underdogs.”<\/p>\n
Walsh gave way to Reilly Tiltmann,<\/strong> while Ruck passed the relay to Lillie Nordmann<\/strong>.<\/p>\n“I just tried to swim it as I usually do, and give it everything I had, which at the end of the day, is all you can do,” Tiltmann said.<\/p>\n
Virginia’s Ella Nelson<\/strong> dove in with the lead and hung on as Stanford’s Kayla Wilson<\/strong> could not catch up.<\/p>\nVirginia won the event in 6:49.82 to sweep both relays on the night.<\/p>\n
“We have been talking about this was the only relay we won two years ago, and last year, it was the only one we didn’t win. We were all watching the medley and that always gets us so excited,” Nelson said. “We knew we had a lot to give, but we did it for the Hoos.”<\/p>\n
Stanford was second in 6:51.77.<\/p>\n
Texas was third in 6:55.55.<\/p>\n
Canny split a 1:42.34, followed by a 1:41.18 for Walsh, a 1:43.38 for Tiltmann and a 1:42.92 for Nelson.<\/p>\n
“It was such a nice environment to start my NCAA career,” Canny said.<\/p>\n
For Stanford, Huske split a 1:42.28, followed by Ruck (1:42.23), Nordmann (1:44.04) and Wilson (1:42.22).<\/p>\n
Georgia won the second of the three heats in 6:59.12, behind a strong anchor leg from Zoie<\/strong> Hartman<\/strong>, who led the Bulldogs from fourth to first in the heat during her final 200.<\/p>\nEvent 2 Women 800 Yard Freestyle Relay<\/b>\r\n==================================================================================\r\n NCAA: N 6:45.91 3\/15\/2017 Stanford\r\n S Manuel, L
