Which of the records are in jeopardy, and which of those marks are unlikely to be touched?

Can she top those times this week in Athens, Ga.? No reason to believe she cannot, with one exception: when she led off the 400 medley relay at the ACC Championships, she had the day off from individual events. In that same position at the national meet, Walsh will be coming off an individual final in the 100 fly.<\/p>\n<p>That said, we cannot rule out\u00a0<strong>Katharine Berkoff<\/strong> taking down Walsh&#8217;s 100 back record. It&#8217;s a long shot, but Berkoff is poised to regain the title she previously won in 2021 and 2022 with Walsh absent from the individual event.

Bick<\/p><\/div>\n<ul>\n<li>200 Breaststroke<\/li>\n<li>200 Butterfly<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Chances are strong that any non-Gretchen Walsh individual records will have to wait until the final day, but these two could be challenged. In the 200 breast, Gretchen&#8217;s older sister <strong>Alex Walsh<\/strong> will try to beat Douglass&#8217; mark of 2:01.29 set last year after clocking 2:02.24 at the ACC Championships to become the second-fastest performer in history. That jump from the conference meet to the national level is not out of the question.<\/p>\n<p>Also within reach is the 200 fly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncaa.com\/sports\/swimming-women\/d1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">collegiate<\/a> record, which was established at 1:49.16 by Alex Walsh at this year&#8217;s ACC Championships. Walsh is not racing the event at NCAAs, but last year, Texas&#8217; <strong>Emma Sticklen<\/strong> broke 1:50 for the first time as she came from behind to win the title in 1:49.95. That sort of drop is within Sticklen&#8217;s range in her senior campaign, although she would have a tough time closing the gap on the American and U.S. Open records of 1:48.33 that\u00a0<strong>Regan Smith<\/strong> set last year.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Very Slight Chance<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>200 Freestyle<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Missy Franklin<\/strong> has owned the quickest time ever in the 200-yard free since 2015, and since then,\u00a0<strong>Mallory Comerford<\/strong> is the only woman to join her under the 1:40-barrier. But we have seen some quick efforts so far this season.\u00a0Gretchen Walsh moved to No. 3 all-time with her 1:40.23 relay leadoff leg at the ACC Championships, while Florida&#8217;s <strong>Bella Sims<\/strong> swam as fast as 1:40.78 in high school, and she went 1:40.90 at the SEC Championships. USC&#8217;s\u00a0<strong>Minna Abraham <\/strong>and Florida&#8217;s\u00a0<strong>Isabel Ivey<\/strong> have both been 1:41s entering the NCAA meet.<\/p>\n<p>Walsh is not entered in the individual 200 free while she may or may not reprise her role leading off Virginia&#8217;s 800 free relay. Sims will certainly be in position to make a run at the 200 free, but 1:39.10 might be too quick for this year.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>No Chance<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>500 Freestyle<\/li>\n<li>200 IM<\/li>\n<li>400 IM<\/li>\n<li>100 Breaststroke<\/li>\n<li>1650 Freestyle<\/li>\n<li>200 Backstroke<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It&#8217;s really hard to see any of these six records being touched. The 500 free and 1650 free records belong to\u00a0<strong>Katie Ledecky<\/strong>, far out of range of any current college athletes. Ditto\u00a0<strong>Lilly King&#8217;s<\/strong> 100 breaststroke record. Alex Walsh will chase the individual medley records, the 200 IM mark set by Douglass last year and the 400 IM standard belonging to Eastin since 2018, but the times of 1:48.37 and 3:54.60, respectively, are far out there. Finally, it&#8217;s tough to see anyone cracking 1:48 in the 200 back, with the NCAA record standing at 1:47.24 (<strong>Beata Nelson<\/strong>) and the American and U.S. Open marks just a bit quicker at 1:47.16 (Smith).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NCAA Record Watch: Which Standards On Alert This Week in Athens?
