200 meter medley relay<\/b>
\nCOLLEGE STATION, Texas, March 19. DAY Two of the Women\u2019s NCAA Division I Championships is under way now after a stunningly beautiful, crystal-clear rendition of the national anthem by 12 year-old Andrea Young of nearby Bryan, that brought sustained applause by the appreciative crowd.<\/p>\n
The 200 medley relay figured to be a battle among the usual suspects: top-seeded Georgia, SEC rival Auburn and Arizona.<\/p>\n
At the end, it was Auburn\u2019s Margaret Hoelzer, who split 25.67 for the fly, followed by relay Wonder Woman, Eileen Coparropa (24.18), who brought the Tigers from behind to touch in a new NCAA\/US Open mark of 1:49.02, breaking the old record of 1:49.23 by Cal four years ago. The time just missed the world best of 1:48.31 set by Sweden in 2000.<\/p>\n
Georgia, at 1:49.20, was also under the old record, while Stanford — which had the lead at 175 meters — was third in 1:49.80.<\/p>\n
