Day 3 prelims begin at 10 on Friday
The University of Louisville Cardinals had a silver medal medley relay performance as a highlight of a record setting at the Day 2 finals of the 2016 NCAA Women's Swimming and Diving Championships Friday Night at McAuley Aquatic Center on the campus of Georgia Tech.
The Cardinals are sitting in seventh place after two days. Georgia leads the field with 174 points followed by California (144.5), USC (121.5), Virginia (118), Texas A&M (110.5), Stanford (110), Louisville (94), Arizona (71), Indiana (66) and NC State (66) to round out the top 10.
"It was a great day for our program with two school records this morning and one more tonight. To cap off the day with a runner-up medley relay was very special and it took an American record to beat us today," said UofL head coach Arthur Albiero. "I want to thank our president, Dr. Ramsey, for coming down to watch us today."
The 200-free relay team of Mallory Comerford (22.50), Kelsi Worrell (21.19), Andrea Kneppers (22.80) and Hannah Magnuson (22.75) combined for a 1:29.24 and 12th place.
Mallory Comerford finished 8th in the A-final of the 500 freestyle with a time of 4:41.28 to earn All-America honors.
In the 50 free, Kelsi Worrell touched fourth as Georgia's sprint specialist, Olivia Smoliga, clocked a 21.21 and set an NCAA and Georgia Tech Pool Record for the gold medal.
Stanford set a new American, U.S. Open, and NCAA Records with a 3:26.14 in the 400 Medley. ACC foe Virginia Cavaliers had the lead early until the halfway mark. Stanford made its move on the fly leg to overtake UVa. Kelsi Worrell's fly split of 49.31, now the third fastest split of all time, rocketed the Cardinals to second place, but Stanford's freestyle leg of 46.58 was enough to edge the Cardinals. Louisville garnered silver medal finishes with their time of 3:27.58 and Virginia settled for third with a 3:28.22.
Tomorrow, nicknamed Moving Day, will include the 400-IM, 100-fly, 200-free, 100-breast, 100-back, 200-medley relay and 3-meter diving.
