Women’s 400 IM
Stanford’s Ella Eastin picked up her second title of the meet after setting the NCAA and American record in the 200-yard IM as she crushed the field in the women’s 400-yard IM at the 2016 NCAA Division I Women’s Championships.
Eastin vaulted to sixth in the all time performers rankings with a 3:58.40. That’s the sixth-fastest time ever in the event’s history. Eastin was able to take a run at the NCAA and American records through 200 yards, but did not quite have the back half to match the top two swimmers of Katinka Hosszu and Caitlin Leverenz.

Eastin absolutely dominated the event, winning by 5.21 seconds. While that’s impressive, it didn’t come close to the NCAA record in the event set by former Stanford swimmer Summer Sanders in 1992. Sanders beat Erika Hansen of Texas by 8.32 seconds (4:02.28-4:10.60) that year.
Eastin pushed Stanford’s NCAA-record wins in the event to nine.

Women’s 100 fly
Louisville’s Kelsi Worrell demolished her NCAA, U.S. Open and American record in the women’s 100-yard fly at the 2016 NCAA Division I Women’s Championships.
Worrell, who went out in 23.09, came home in 26.34 to win in 49.43. That performance obliterated her previous record of 49.81 to win NCAAs last year. To think, it was amazing just a year ago when Worrell became the first person to crack Natalie Coughlin’s record of 50.01. Within a year, Worrell is on the other side of being halfway to breaking 49 seconds.
Worrell is the only swimmer ever to break 50 seconds, and that’s the fourth time she’s done it. Her splits for her now-former record for comparison’s sake: 23.58, 49.81 (26.23)
Her victory was nearly record breaking in terms of how dominant it was. She won by 1.18 seconds, nearly beating the record of 1.35 seconds set by Stanford’s Misty Hyman in 1998 when she beat North Carolina’s Richelle Fox (51.34 to 52.69).
Worrell also joined another short list of names as a multiple winner in the 100 fly:
4 – Natalie Coughlin, California
2 – Crissy Ahmann-Leighton, Arizona
2 – Mary DeScenza, Georgia
2 – Misty Hyman, Stanford
2 – Jenna Johnson, Stanford
2 – Mary T. Meagher, California
2 – Amanda Sims, California
2 – Jenny Thompson, Stanford
Texas A&M’s Sarah Gibson took second overall in 50.61, moving up to seventh in the all time rankings, while California’s Farida Osman placed third in 50.76. Osman missed her sixth-ranked lifetime best of 50.53 from Pac 12s.
Stanford’s Janet Hu (51.03), North Carolina’s Hellen Moffitt (51.16), California’s Noemie Thomas (51.39), California’s Rachel Bootsma (51.40) and Georgia’s Kylie Stewart (51.68) closed out the rest of the top eight.
Notably, Arizona’s Annie Ochitwa threw down a 51.02 to win the B final.

Women’s 200 free
Georgia’s Brittany MacLean held off a stacked field to win the women’s 200-yard free at the 2016 NCAA Division I Women’s Championships.
MacLean, who had to come back from the middle of the pack at the halfway mark, turned up the heat down the stretch to win in 1:42.42. That swim moved her up to 10th all time in the event’s history, and delivered Georgia an NCAA-record tying seventh victory in the event’s history.
Previous Georgia Winners:
2000 Maritza Correia, Georgia, 1:57.33 *
2006 Kara Lynn Joyce, Georgia, 1:43.96
2010 Allison Schmitt, Georgia, 1:42.84
2011 Allison Schmitt, Georgia, 1:42.08
2012 Megan Romano, Georgia, 1:41.21
2013 Allison Schmitt, Georgia, 1:41.85
MacLean returned to the top of the podium for the first time since winning the 500 and 1650 free her sophomore year.
Louisville’s Mallory Comerford nearly gave the Cardinals a second title in a row with a 1:42.54 for second. That’s just .12 back of MacLean. That’s not the record for the closest 200 free in NCAA meet history, however, as North Carolina’s Jessi Perruquet and Auburn’s Heather Kemp tied for the title with 1:45.01s in 2003.
Stanford’s Lia Neal claimed third in 1:42.58 with Georgia’s Hali Flickinger picking up fourth in 1:43.32.
Michigan’s Siobhan Haughey (1:43.35), Virginia’s Leah Smith (1:43.50), Indiana’s Haley Lips (1:43.72) and Indiana’s Kennedy Goss (1:44.75) turned in the rest of the championship final finishes.

Women’s 100 breast
Indiana’s Lilly King stunned the collegiate swimming community by breaking the 57-second barrier to blast her NCAA, U.S. Open and American record in the women’s 100-yard breast at the 2016 NCAA Division I Women’s Championships.
King went out in 26.44, and came back in 30.41 to blast by 57 seconds with a 56.85. This morning, she downed Breeja Larson’s NCAA and American record of 57.15 from prelims.
King, just a freshman, set herself up to potentially become only the second person ever to post a career sweep of the 100 breast. Tara Kirk won the event from 2001-04 for Stanford, and had owned the record with a long-standing 57.77 from 2006.
King became just the third Indiana swimmer to win an NCAA title, joining Kate Fesenko and Brooklynn Snodgrass (who both won 200 back previously). King also made Indiana the first Big Ten women’s team to boast an NCAA titlist in three straight NCAA meets (Snodgrass in the 200 back in 2014, Jessica Parratto in diving in 2015).
Stanford’s Sarah Haase blasted her previous personal best of 57.73 with a 57.36 for second, keeping her fourth in the all time rankings behind King, Larson and Alia Atkinson (57.29). King’s teammate, Miranda Tucker, finished third in 58.10.
Missouri’s Katharine Ross (58.22), Missouri’s Abby Duncan (58.41), Louisville’s Andee Cottrell (58.78), Virginia’s Laura Simon (58.91) and Purdue’s Emily Fogle (59.20) also competed in the finale.

Women’s three-meter diving
Nevada’s Sharae Zheng swept the springboard diving events as the one-meter winner claimed the three-meter title at the 2016 NCAA Division I Women’s Championships.
Zheng won the three-meter with 404.70 points. That’s Nevada’s 5th NCAA title now. Previously, Limin Liu won the women’s 100-meter fly in 2000 and went back-to-back in the 200 fly in 1999 and 2000.
She joins several divers to have won both the one and three-meter events, last done by Georgia’s Laura Ryan in 2014.
Miami (Ohio)’s Pei Lin suffered a balk that wound up costing her the title as she settled for second with 399.40 points.
Florida’s Kahlia Warner finished third overall with 387.20 points.
UCLA’s Maria Polyakova (381.95), Minnesota’s Zhou Yu (364.45), Purdue’s Mary-Beth Dunnichay (331.90), Stanford’s Gracia Leydon-Mahoney (329.45) and Indiana’s Lacey Houser (297.60) completed the championship finale.

Stanford’s Ally Howe, Sarah Haase, Janet Hu and Lia Neal clocked in with a winning time of 1:43.81. That’s a bit off the same foursome’s NCAA and American record time of 1:34.15 from Pac 12s last month.
That’s the 13th 200 medley win for Stanford as the squad continues to try to comeback from a disqualification in the 200 free relay last night.
