The interesting development for this 400 medley is the progress of Bray on the backstroke leg – she is the former Big 12 Record holder on the fly leg, but with Texas having a deep butterfly group, she has shifted to the backstroke leg – with continuing success. Elendt did not swim on any of the other Longhorn medleys, though she did finish 2nd in the individual 200 breaststroke in 2:07.83 – behind Jacoby’s 2:06.66. Elendt’s split was faster, but Jacoby had the hot hand in winning the individual 100 breaststroke on Friday, breaking a National Age Group Record for 17-18s in the process. The only swimmer who changed was freshman Lydia Jacoby jumped on in place of Anna Elendt, who swam mid-season. The rest of the relay still has room to grow if they match their December splits in March at the NCAA Championships. Erika Brown leads that category all-time with a 49.11 from the 2018 SEC Championships, followed by a 49.24 from Louise Hansson, and times of 49.25 and 49.31 from Kelsi (Worrell) Dahlia. After setting a Big 12 Record of 49.79 on Friday, she backed it up with a 49.35 relay split on Saturday, which is the 5th-best relay split in history. The clear difference-maker for this record-setting effort was Sticklen. This time, it was the 400 medley relay that touched in 3:25.29 to break the existing school and Big 12 Records of 3:25.96 set mid-season at the Minnesota Invite.Ĭoming into this season, Texas’ 3:26.32 from the 2022 Big 12 Championships was the conference record. The Texas Longhorns aren’t long for the Big 12, but they’re making sure to leave their stamp on the conference record books on the way out the door.įor the 2nd time in 2 days, the Longhorn women have broken a Big 12 Record.
