Hartman and Harnish Earn All-America Honors at NCAAs
March 19, 2021 | Swimming & Diving
GREENSBORO, N.C. – With six All-America citations, the University of Georgia women's swimming and diving team continued competition Friday at the 2021 NCAA Women's Swimming & Diving Championships at the Greensboro Aquatic Center.
Senior Courtney Harnish increased her career All-America total to 15 citations with a pair of top-16 finishes Friday evening. In the 200 freestyle, Harnish placed eighth with a time of 1:45.52. She would later go on to swim the butterfly leg of the 14th-place 200 medley relay, joining seniors Gabi Fa'amausili and Danielle Della Torre and freshman Maxine Parker in earning Second Team honors with a time of 1:36.92. Fa'amausili opened the race with a season-best 50 backstroke split of 24.34.
Sophomore Zoie Hartman also continued her outstanding meet with a sixth-place finish in the 100 breaststroke, posting a time of 58.25. Hartman remained in contention for much of the race before falling behind victorious Sophie Hansson of NC State.
In the 100 breaststroke prelims, Della Torre just missed out on the consolation final with a 17th-place time of 59.25. Junior Dakota Luther also reached first alternate status with a season-best time of 52.19 in the 100 butterfly.
Friday's winners in Greensboro included Stanford's Brooke Forde in the 400 IM, Virginia's Paige Madden in the 200 freestyle, NC State's Katharine Berkhoff in the 100 backstroke, and Minnesota's Sarah Bacon in the 3-meter diving, while NC State prevailed in the 200 medley. The highlight of the evening was in the 100 butterfly as Michigan's Maggie MacNeil set a new NCAA record with a winning time of 48.89.
With one day of competition remaining, Georgia ranks ninth overall with 115 points. Virginia holds a commanding lead with 344 points, followed by NC State in second with 241 and Texas in third with 224.
The NCAA Championships conclude Saturday with the 1,650 freestyle, 200 backstroke, 100 freestyle, 200 breaststroke, 200 butterfly, and 400 freestyle relay. Hartman and Luther hold the No. 2 seeds in the 200 breast and 200 fly respectively, while Parker is seeded sixth in the 100 free. Prelims begin at 10 a.m., followed by the first three 1,650 free heats at 4:05 p.m. and the full final session at 6 p.m. All sessions will be available on ESPN3 and the ESPN app, with live results available on NCAA.com and to subscribers on the MeetMobile app.
