You can only get an American Record if you are a citizen of the United States. She is a citizen of the Bahamas. She gets the US Open, NCAA, and SEC records. Natalie Coughlin still retains the American Record at :46.85

Thanks for the clarification. I'm sure Natalie is appreciative of still holding onto her record.
I didn't realize that the name was misspelled; I believe that the SEC live results website had cut off her name since it was so long.
There were some good streaks that were continued, or ended, this weekend:
University of Virginia's Women's Team won their FOURTH consecutive title
Indiana University Women's team won their THIRD consecutive title
Louisville beat Notre Dame, stopping them from winning a FIFTEENTH consecutive title in the Big East
Does anyone know when some of these meets are going to be televised?
Usually the Big 10 conference televises them at some point on their network. I am not sure when, or if it is live.
You can always check with the conference championships websites; some places have live streaming of the events (usually just finals from what I've seen).
Oddly enough, she swam the exact same time in finals. 46.81.
Her name is Arianna Vanderpool-Wallace and she was a 2008 Olympian for the Bahamas. We timed her in the finals last night where she swam the 46.81 a second time. Later she anchored Auburn's 400 Free Relay, where I believe her split may have been slightly faster (but, of course it was a relay start).
I've seen that most conferences do get faster year in and year out; I think that we are over the tech-suit assisted swims for the most part in NCAA swimming and are seeing who can really bring it in the water.
I think that the main difference between the bigger and smaller D1 conferences is not necessarily the speed. You will always have a few standout swimmers in the smaller conferences making NCAA cuts. It is the depth on the teams, from team to team, from top to bottom that sets the bigger schools apart.
The number of scholarships are determined by the NCAA. In swimming, there are 9.9 for men, 14 for women in DI. There are different rules for each sport, however. Football is a whole different monster and so is title IX:worms:
The SEC Championships will air on ESPNU as follows:
Men: Sunday, February 27th, 6:00 pm
Women: Tuesday, March 1st, 5:00 pm
Thank you!
:)
Looks like women's Big 10's will be on Saturday Feb 26th @ 11am, EST (on The Big Ten Network).
