Day 2 Prelims Preview 

    After an exciting day 1, the second day of the 2025 Women’s Division I NCAA Championships will feature several more exciting races.

    Fresh-off of a new everything record in the 200 medley relay, Virginia stars Gretchen Walsh and Alex Walsh will look to make a splash in their first individual swims of the meet. Gretchen Walsh will headline the 50 freestyle prelims with the top seeded time of 20.60. G. Walsh is already the fastest woman in history in the race and is eying the 20-second barrier in the race.

    Alex Walsh will take on fellow US Olympian Torri Huske in the 200 IM. Though Walsh is the reigning NCAA Champion in the event, Huske enters as the top seed with a 1:51.46, setting the pair up for a fantastic battle tonight. On the 200 medley relay, both Walsh (25.6 breaststroke) and Huske (20.3 freetyle) threw down the fastest splits in the field for their respective strokes.

    The 500 freestyle will open the session with another battle of US Olympians as Texas’ Jillian Cox leads the field over Florida’s Bella Sims. Cox, who has had a fantastic season so far, enters the race with a seed time of 4:30.68 to Sims’ 4:31.06. Stanford’s Aurora Roghair should be in the mix as well, as she helped her team to an NCAA title in the 800 freestyle relay last night.
