Gold Medal Minute by @swimoutletdotcom
2020 Olympic medalist, 2022 World Champion, and UVA swim star Alex Walsh is coming off of a massive NCAA Championships, going 3-for-3 in her individual events helping Virginia to their 4th Team Title. Moreover, Alex recently announced she's coming back for at 5th at UVA. I think she would've made the announcement earlier, however coach Todd DeSorbo and Alex have been so busy since NCAA Champs, they had to find the time to talk-it-out. (Alex goes in-depth on her decision to return for a 5th year later this week in a podcast with her sister Gretchen Walsh.)
At the recent San Antonio Pro Swim, Alex touched second in the 200m IM behind Torri Huske (208.47). Alex said she was a little tired after NCAA Champ and was battle a little sickness last, so she was very happy with her time, 2:08.6.
U.S. Olympic Trials - Alex Walsh Predictions:
Alex was a little slower in 2023 than 2022, but the with hype of the Olympic year, I'm banking on a PB in Indy. Alex was a 2:07.89 at 2023 U.S. Trials, then a 2:07.97 at 2023 Word Champs, pulling up behind Kate Douglass. Alex makes her second U.S. Olympic Team in the 200m IM swimming a 2:06.93, shaving .20 off her personal best time from her 2022 World Championships gold performance. Kate Douglass is a hair ahead in 2:06.75, but who cares what I think? What do you think? Drop your opinion in the comments.
