Joyce takes 50 free

swimr4life
I'm so proud of my Georgia girl! I just received this in an email from UGA. UGA is in fifth right now. Not bad considering we don't have a single diver! On the opening night of competition at the 2007 NCAA Women's Swimming and Diving Championships in Minneapolis, Kara Lynn Joyce completed her four-year sweep of the 50y freestyle event, becoming just the second woman in history to do so in the premiere sprint event. Joyce clocked a 21.71 in the final (after splitting 21.69 in the opening relay) to claim her 17th career title. "I am really happy to be able to do that," said Joyce. "I am pretty happy with my swim (in the 50). It's always nice to pull out a win. This event is more competitive now than it has been in the past three years." "I couldn't be more proud of her," said Bauerle. "We have never had an athlete win an event all four years. It really is such a feat to do that at this level. She got a lot of points for Georgia, and this year every point is really important." Through the first six events, Georgia stands fifth in the team race with 86 points. Arizona has taken an early lead with 168 points.

  • YEAH! My Georgia girl won the 100 free last night too with a 47.24! The title marks the 18th of her career, placing her behind only Jenny Thompson in the all-time collegiate titles race (19 titles, 1992-95). Joyce joins Natalie Coughlin of Cal as the second female swimmer in NCAA history to win four consecutive titles in two events. At the conclusion of the meet, Joyce was also named NCAA Swimmer of the Year for the second consecutive year. I'm so proud of her! :woot:
