Even as California and Stanford entered the women’s NCAA championships as the odds-on favorites on paper, there was always one more team destined to factor into the team race. The Georgia Bulldogs always come to swim at NCAAs; just a season ago, they made the Bears work for their title even though they had entered the meet as the heavy favorite.
During the first prelim session of the meet, the Bulldogs continued the momentum they established with their big win in the 800 free relay on Wednesday night. The 200 free relay opened the morning session, and 15th-seeded Georgia blasted a 1:27.53 that ranks second in the field. And they did that despite the loss of their top sprinter from last season, Chantal van Landeghem, to an Olympic redshirt.
Olivia Smoliga, one of the top performers of the morning session, had the standout leg with a 21.47 lead-off split, but the less-heralded trio of Kylie Stewart, Meghan Raab and Emily Cameron did the dirty work. No one can be surprised that Brittany MacLean and Hali Flickinger earned the second and third seeds in the 500, but they got bonus swims they did not expect with Stephanie Peters moving up into the B-final of the 500 and Cameron doing the same in the 200 IM.
