The Tennessee Volunteers have not had the best meet at the 2019 NCAA Division I Women’s Swimming and Diving Championships but showed up in a big way on Friday night with a national title in the 200 medley relay. The Volunteers won with a 1:34.10. The team was comprised of Meghan Small (24.03), Nikol Popov (26.51), Maddy Banic (22.58) and Erika Brown (20.98) as the Volunteers won with a 1:34.10.
Tennessee won the final ahead of Cal (1:34.43) and NC State (1:34.80). Cal’s Abbey Weitzeil (20.45) split the fastest 50 free ever on the anchor leg, tying her with Simone Manuel for the fastest ever split.
Cal swam the relay with Izzy Ivey (24.07), Ema Rajic (27.28), Maddie Murphy (22.63) and Weitzeil (20.45) as Weitzeil’s anchor leg was not enough to catch Tennessee.
NC State finished in third place with Elise Haan (23.90), Sophie Hansson (26.64), Kylee Alons (22.94) and Ky-lee Perry (21.32) swimming for the Wolfpack.
The fastest splits outside the top three came from Virginia’s Caroline Gmelich (23.85), Indiana’s Lilly King (25.62), Michigan’s Maggie MacNeil (22.73) and Michigan’s Catie DeLoof (21.43).
Indiana (1:35.18), Louisville (1:35.57), Michigan (1:35.85), Stanford (1:36.13) and Virginia (1:36.16) also swam in the A-Final.
Tennessee now has four NCAA relay titles in its history. The previous three all came from the 2013 season when the Lady Vols won the 200 free, 400 medley and 200 medley relays.
