I realize most here don't follow or care much about swimming, but it's still fun to share such global accomplishments.

Kate Douglass (alum still training at UVA) and Gretchen Walsh both set new WR today and this past week.

These are short-course meter (25-meter pool) records, which is not swum as frequently as college yards or international long-course (Olympics) pools, but still quite noteworthy.

Douglass just broke the 200-meter breaststroke record in a World Cup meet in South Korea - after winning Gold in Paris.

Walsh broke the rarely-swum 100-meter IM record in UVA's unique short-course meter dual meet with Florida last week - in mind-blowing fashion, as usual (and breaking the American record Douglass set in Shanghai literally hours earlier). Walsh broke 3 American records in the same meet, btw...

So things keep humming along for the UVA women on the world stage as the college season kicks off...

I can confirm that UVA commitment Davin Chandler will be taking an offiical visit this weekend to Vanderbilt. Commodores have a lot of momentum on the field and on the recruiting trail with Chandler. Will be tough for Cavs to hold on to this one.
