The vets are still on top, though.<\/p>\n<p>Leading the way in prelims was <strong>Alexandra Turvey<\/strong> of Pomona-Pitzer in 22.70. She was .02 ahead of the reigning champ <strong>Kaley McIntyre<\/strong> of NYU, whose 22.60 is the top time in the nation this year.

Third is <strong>Hannah Fathman<\/strong> of Albion, third in 23.01 after finishing 39th last year. Fourth was <strong>Tatum<\/strong> <strong>Zupnik<\/strong> of Bowdoin in 23.02, a .41-second drop from her seed.

Kenyon and Williams tied for third in 1:27.90.
