Kate and Alex Walsh finish 1-2 in the 200 IM at Short Course World Champs in Australia (25-meter pool), with Kate setting the American Record and barely missing the World Record.
For more context, Katinka Hosszu of Hungary holds 9 of the top 10 times in the event of all-time. Kate is the only other swimmer to do so, with the 2nd-fastest of all-time now.
Alex won the Long-Course World Championships (50-meter pool) in June.
So UVA now has the 2 fastest 200 IM swimmers in the world, effectively, heading toward the 2024 Olympics in Paris.
