The Virginia Women won the 800 free relay at the 2023 NCAA Division 1 Women’s Swimming and Diving Championships tonight with a time of 6:49.82. The relay team of Aimee Canny, Alex Walsh, Reilly Tiltmann and Ella Nelson set a new school record, beating the previous mark of 6:55.25 set in 2016.
The fastest splits were swum on the front of the relay, with first-year Canny leading off with her very first NCAA Championship swim. Walsh explained that the front-loaded relay order was intentional. “We really just wanted to send it,” said Walsh.
