Moesch wins her 1st NCAA individual title as Virginia adds to team lead at
swimming championships
ATLANTA (AP) --- Anna Moesch won the first NCAA individual title of her career
in the 200-yard freestyle on Thursday night at the women's swimming and diving
championships to help Virginia add to its team lead.
Moesch's time of 1:39.23 marked the second fastest performance in the event,
just shy of Missy Franklin's 11-year-old record.
Moesch also helped Virginia claim a third relay title in the competition with a
1:24.11 in the 200 freestyle. It was the fifth straight year Virginia won the
event.
Virginia sits in first place with 249 points heading into the third day of the
four-day competition. Texas is second with 183 points and Stanford third with
173.
Olympic gold medalist Torri Huske clocked a 48.49 to win the 100 butterfly for
her third career national title. Huske edged Virginia's Claire Curzan after
finishing second last season. The top three swimmers finished under 50 seconds,
with Huske's Stanford teammate, Gigi Johnson, coming in fourth.
Bella Sims led wire-to-wire in the 400 IM for Michigan's first individual NCAA
title since Maggie MacNeil in 2021. It was also the first gold in the event by
a Wolverine since Mindy Gehrs in 1993.
N.C. State's Eneli Jefimova took the 100 breaststroke with the fastest time in
program history.
Senior diver Chiara Pellacani defended her one-meter national title for Miami.
Pellacani became the first diver to win multiple national titles in a Miami
career since Brittany Viola (2008, 2011).
