That was the case Friday evening at the Eddie Reese Texas Showdown as Walsh posted the second-quickest 50 freestyle relay split ever and the third-best mark in history in the 100 butterfly, times only she has ever surpassed, before her 100 fly relay split beat any in history by an an enormous margin.<\/p>\n<p>The two-day, three-session meet in Austin, Texas features four of the top programs in the country, with the Cavaliers, the NC State Wolfpack and the Arizona State Sun Devils visiting the Longhorns, but the Virginia women have been dominant, per their usual pattern of performance. They won the 200 free relay by two seconds, but it was Walsh&#8217;s individual effort that was most eye-popping.<\/p>\n<p>Walsh clocked 20.09 on the second leg, the second-fastest 50 freestyle split ever behind the 19,95 she swam at last season&#8217;s ACC Championships. It is a good bet that Walsh will again clock 19 during her final collegiate championship season. As for her teammates,\u00a0<strong>Claire Curzan<\/strong> led off before older sister\u00a0<strong>Alex Walsh<\/strong> and\u00a0freshman\u00a0<strong>Anna Moesch<\/strong> brought the relay home, with all three splitting sub-21.5, and Virginia&#8217;s final time was 1:24.29, quicker than any team aside from the Cavaliers swam at last season&#8217;s NCAA Championships.<\/p>\n<p>The Texas team of\u00a0<strong>Grace Cooper<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Emma Sticklen<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Ava Longi<\/strong> and\u00a0<strong>Abby Arens\u00a0<\/strong>placed second in 1:26.44, and NC State&#8217;s\u00a0<strong>Olivia Nel<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Lily Christianson<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Tyler Driscoll<\/strong> and\u00a0<strong>Erika Pelaez<\/strong> took third in 1:27.67.<\/p>\n<p>A half-hour later, Walsh took a shot at her own American, NCAA and U.S. Open records in the 100 fly before coming up just short at 47.48. The only two quicker performances also belong to Walsh, with her 47.35 from the Tennessee Invitational in November and the 47.42 she swam to win last year&#8217;s NCAA title in the event. Sticklen took second in 49.55, improving upon her own season-best time and remaining ranked No. 4 nationally, but she was still two seconds back, with NC State&#8217;s\u00a0<strong>Leah Shackley<\/strong> third (50.95).<\/p>\n<p>Walsh returned at the end of the session to post the fastest 100 fly split in history by more than one-and-a-half seconds. She split 47.15, which annihilated the previous best of 48.76 from\u00a0<strong>Maggie Mac Neil<\/strong> in 2023. Walsh has traditionally handled backstroke legs on Virginia&#8217;s medley relays, but Curzan&#8217;s presence allowed her to shift to swim her signature stroke.<\/p>\n<p>The same quartet that raced on Virginia&#8217;s free relay earlier in the evening combined to post a time of 3:21.48, just four tenths off the NCAA record Virginia swam last March but much quicker than the American record of 3:22.48 that Virginia swam on two separate occasions in 2022. Both Walsh sisters were on all previous record-setting squads, but Gretchen has to butterfly while Alex has taken over on breaststroke after swimming butterfly in both 2022 and 2024. Curzan led off here, and Moesch anchored the team.<\/p>\n<p>Texas&#8217;\u00a0<strong>Berit Berglund<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Piper Enge<\/strong>, Sticklen and Longi came in second at 3:28.00, with the NC State team of\u00a0<strong>Kennedy Noble<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Aubree Brouwer<\/strong>, Shackley and Pelaez third in 3:29.39.<\/p>\n<p>In other races contested Friday evening, the Texas men continued to impress behind the sophomores <strong>Rex Maurer<\/strong>\u00a0and <strong>Nate Germonprez<\/strong>\u00a0plus world-record-holding senior\u00a0<strong>Luke Hobson<\/strong> and Olympic champion\u00a0<strong>Hubert Kos<\/strong>. Their efforts helped Texas to 715 overall points, comfortably ahead of Arizona State (620.5), Virginia (587.5) and NC State (530).<\/p>\n<pre><b>Event 11  Women 200 Yard Freestyle
