ATLANTA – Sophomore
Sarah Foley was named an honorable-mention All-American in the 200 breaststroke with a school-record time to conclude the 2022 Women's NCAA Championship at McAuley Aquatic Center in Atlanta.
Â
Foley reached the B Final and bested her preliminary time by over a second to notch a school record mark of 2:05.78, winning her heat in the finals. Foley's time in the evening session was the fifth-fastest time on the day overall.
Â
Foley's pair of All-America honors makes her just the third Duke women's swimmer to earn multiple accolades at a single NCAA Championship. Former Blue Devils
