Women’s 200 medley relay
California kicked off the night with a sizzling performance in the 200 medley relay at the NCAA Division I Women’s Championship.
California, which DQed this event last year to likely cost them an NCAA championship, put up a 1:35.15 for the win from Rachel Bootsma, Marina Garcia, Noemie Thomas and Farida Osman.
That’s California’s fourth victory in the event ever.
Other California wins:
2000 California (Haley Cope, Staciana Stitts, Waen Minpraphal, Joscelin Yeo), 1:49.23 *SCM
2011 California (Cindy Tran, Caitlin Leverenz, Colleen Fotsch, Liv Jensen), 1:35.03
2012 California (Cindy Tran, Caitlin Leverenz, Colleen Fotsch, Liv Jensen), 1:34.24
Kelsi Worrell, who popped a 22.07 butterfly split this morning and broke the 100-yard fly NCAA and American record with a 49.89, went even faster for the Cardinals tonight with a 21.96 split as Tanja Kylliainen, Andee Cottrell, Worrell and Andrea Kneppers took second in 1:35.75.
Tennessee’s Amanda Carner, Molly Hannis, Harper Bruens and Faith Johnson placed third in 1:36.29.
In the team hunt, Georgia’s Olivia Smoliga, Meaghan Raab, Kylie Stewart and Chantal Van Landeghem took fifth in 1:36.90.
The stunner of the morning proved to be defending champion Stanford missing the A final. Ally Howe, Sarah Haase, Janet Hu and Lia Neal put up the top time of the night with a 1:35.10, but settled for ninth-place points.

Women’s 400 IM
Texas A&M’s Sarah Henry put an exclamation mark on her oft-injured career by joining a handful of other Aggie NCAA champions with a 400-yard IM victory at the NCAA Division I Women’s Championships.
Henry, a senior who has battled through multiple ACL tears in her career, overtook the field with a 4:02.47 to win the NCAA title this evening.
That swim tied her with Alecia Aemisegger of Princeton for 13th all time in the event’s history.
Henry also joined Julia Wilkinson, Alia Atkinson, Breeja Larson and Paige Miller as an NCAA titlist from Texas A&M.
Georgia had a really strong final with Hali Flickinger (4:02.73) and Amber McDermott (4:03.34) placing second and third. Flickinger moved up to 15th all time in the event’s history with that second-place swim.
Henry’s .26 second margin of victory is the closest ever in NCAA history.
The previous record had been held by Texas’ Patty Sabo with a 4:16.58 to 4:16.87 (.29 second difference) victory against Florida’s Mary Wayte in 1986.
Georgia moved back into the lead, 239-209, against California following the event.

Women’s 100 fly
Louisville’s Kelsi Worrell lowered her own NCAA and American record from prelims in the women’s 100-yard fly at the NCAA Division I Women’s Championships.
Worrell, who broke the 13-year-old record of 50.01 set by Natalie Coughlin back in 2002 with a 49.89 this morning, took even more time off the record with a smoking effort of 49.81.
With the win, she’s the first female swimmer to ever win an NCAA title for Arthur Albiero’s Louisville Cardinals.
Worrell beat Denver’s Sam Corea by 1.05 seconds in a dominating victory. Corea hit the wall second in 50.86 to move to seventh all time in the event’s history.
That’s not the most dominant win ever in the 100 fly in NCAA history. Mistyfly herself, Misty Hyman of Stanford took the 1998 title with a 1.35-second victory. Hyman clocked a 51.34, ahead of North Carolina’s Richelle Fox (52.69).
USC’s Kendyl Stewart put up a third-place time of 50.92 to take 11th all time, while California’s Farida Osman also broke 51-seconds for the first time with a fourth-place 50.94.

Women’s 200 free
California’s Missy Franklin absolutely demolished her NCAA, U.S. Open and American record in the women’s 200-yard free at the NCAA Division I Women’s Championships.
Franklin put on what ESPNU commentator Rowdy Gaines said was the most impressive yards swim of all time as she obliterated her record of 1:40.31 with a ridiculous time of 1:39.10.
Not only did Franklin blow through the 1:40 barrier, she broke her record by a full 1.21 seconds and nearly jumped into the 1:38 range.
That’s California’s fourth title ever in the 200 free:
1986 Conny Van Bentum, California, 1:46.45
2009 Dana Vollmer, California, 1:42.01
2014 Missy Franklin, California, 1:40.31
Franklin led a huge scoring event for the Golden Bears with Cierra Runge (1:43.23) and Caroline Piehl (1:44.30) going fourth and eighth as California took a 294-252 lead over Georgia after the race.
Stanford’s Simone Manuel, who had been touted as a potential challenger for Franklin after clocking a 1:41.15 at the Pacific 12 Championships, wound up taking second tonight in 1:41.45.
Stanford’s Lia Neal finished third overall in 1:42.65 to move to 15th all time in the event’s history.

Women’s 100 breast
In one of the closest NCAA 100-yard breast finishes ever, Stanford’s Sarah Haase touched out Alabama’s Kaylin Burchell at the NCAA Division I Women’s Championships.
Haase earned Stanford’s seventh 100-yard breast title of all time with a 58.32-58.38 victory over Burchell. That’s a .06 second triumph, just off the NCAA record for the smallest margin of victory.
SMU’s Susan Lipscomb downed Texas’ Dorsey Tierney, 1:01.28 to 1:01.31, back in 1992.
Haase put up a lifetime best of 58.19 this morning to stand ninth all time, but still had enough in the tank for the win this evening.

Burchell’s time moved her to 13th all time in the event’s history, while Notre Dame’s Emma Reaney, the 200-yard breast American record holder, took third in 58.43.
California held a 294-252 lead over Georgia following the race.

Women’s 100 back
California’s Rachel Bootsma reclaimed her NCAA title in the women’s 100-yard back at the NCAA Division I Women’s Championships.
Bootsma threw down the third-fastest time ever in the event with a time of 50.03. That beat her previous personal best of 50.13 she used to win the 2013 NCAA title.
Last year, Bootsma was unseated as the NCAA champion by Texas A&M’s Paige Miller, but Bootsma came back this year with a vengeance for California’s NCAA record ninth 100 back title.

Women’s 800 free relay
California ended the night with a bang as the Golden Bears defending the 800-yard free relay with an NCAA meet record at the NCAA Division I Women’s Championships.
Cal’s Cierra Runge (1:44.56), Camille Cheng (1:43.69), Elizabeth Pelton (1:42.69) and Missy Franklin (1:40.05) put up a time of 6:50.99 for the win.
That swim crushed the meet record of 6:52.69 set by California back in 2009, but came up a bit short of Cal’s NCAA record of 6:50.18 from the Pacific 12 Championships last month.
That’s the fifth time that the Golden Bears have hoisted the 800-yard free relay trophy.
Previous California wins:
2004 California (Natalie Coughlin, Erin Reilly, Ashley Chandler, Lauren Medina), 7:50.94*
2007 California (Dana Vollmer, Emily Silver, Blake Hayter, Erin Reilly), 7:00.89
2009 California (Sara Isakovic, Hannah Wilson, Liv Jensen, Dana Vollmer), 6:52.69
2014 California (Rachael Acker, Caroline Piehl, Elizabeth Pelton, Missy Franklin) 6:54.94
Stanford’s Lia Neal, Grace Carlson, Simone Manuel and Nicole Stafford took second overall in 6:54.68.
That’s a 3.69-second victory for California, but that’s not even close to the largest margin of victory in the 800-yard free relay at NCAAs.
Florida owns that record with a 7:06.98-7:14.94 (7.96-seconds) victory against Southern California back in 1984.
Georgia’s Jordan Mattern, Amber McDermott, Brittany MacLean and Hali Flickinger placed third in 7:00.39.
