The 2023 NCAA Division I Women’s Championships continued from Knoxville, Tennessee, on Thursday with the Day 2 finals session with the 500 freestyle.<\/p>\n

Texas sophomore Erica Sullivan<\/strong> was the favorite all season. She took the top seed in the prelims.<\/p>\n

But it was Alabama’s Kensey McMahon<\/strong> who made a late move and took the lead as Sullivan tried to keep pace.<\/p>\n

She was in the 27s and 26s in the final four splits of her race to move ahead and then edge the closing field.<\/p>\n

Georgia’s Rachel Stege<\/strong> and Wisconsin’s Abby Carlson<\/strong> also made late moves as all four turned together in the final.<\/p>\n

McMahon got to the wall in 4:36.62, dropping more than a second from prelims. Carlson was second in 4:36.96, followed by Texas’ Olivia Bray<\/strong> (4:37.02), who closed in the final 25 to hold off her teammate Sullivan, who finished fourth (4:37.28).<\/p>\n

“I definitely wanted to be super warmed up. I get better as the race goes, so I wanted to build the first 200, attack those middle ones and finish strong,” McMahon said. “I definitely felt a lot of energy. It is unreal. My coach and I have been working for this for the past several years. It is really exciting that we were able to do this together.”<\/p>\n

This was a reason she came back for\u00a0 a fifth year.<\/p>\n

“It definitely feels super special. I had a lot of momentum in 2020, and I was devastated when it got canceled,” McMahon said. “I struggled the year after. I felt super broken down. These past two years have been really nice.”<\/p>\n

Sullivan was nearly a second slower than in prelims, while six swimmers in the event dropped time.<\/p>\n

Stege finished fifth in 4:37.32, followed by Florida’s Emma Weyant<\/strong> (4:38.46), Indiana’s Ching Hwee Gan<\/strong> (4:38.91) and Georgia’s Dune Coetzee<\/strong> (4:40.58).<\/p>\n

Sullivan took the top NCAA seed in 4:36.51 to hold off Carlson (4:37.56) during prelims.<\/p>\n

Tennessee’s Julia Mrozinksi<\/strong> won the consolation final 4:37.34.<\/p>\n
