2025 CSCAA Dual Meet Challenge
November 21-23, 2025 Allan Jones Intercollegiate Aquatics Center, Knoxville, TN Dual Meet Bracket Format Teams: Arizona State (Big 12) Michigan (Big Ten) Tennessee (SEC) Virginia (ACC) Live Results Live stream available on the USA Swimming Network app and ESPN+ Results on Meet Mobile as “CSCAA Dual Meet Challenge Meet 2 12PM”As the 5-time defending NCAA Champion Virginia women find their new identities in the post-Walsh era, a new generation of freestyle fiends are emerging this week during the CSCAA Dual Meet Challenge.
In the team’s Saturday afternoon meet against Michigan, sophomore Anna Moesch moved into the top five performers of all-time in both the 100 and 200 yard freestyles; and freshman Sara Curtis moved into the top five performers of all-time in both the 50 freestyle and 50 back.
Moesch won both the 200 free (1:40.25) and 100 free (45.98) as her team dominated Michigan.
Her swim in the 200 free now ranks her as the 4th-best woman in the history of the event, bumping the greatest female swimmer of all-time Katie Ledecky from that spot.
Top 5 Performers, Women’s 200 SCY Freestyle
Missy Franklin, Cal – 1:39.10 Gretchen Walsh, Virginia – 1:39.34 Mallory Comerford, Louisville – 1:39.80 Anna Moesch, Virginia – 1:40.25 Katie Ledecky, Stanford – 1:40.36Her best time last year was 1:42.39, but she already surpassed that this season in the team’s dual meet against Florida, swimming 1:41.42. Her improvements really came in the back-half of her race: on Saturday she split 49.74/50.51, whereas at NCAAs last year she split 50.37/52.02.
In her next race, Moesch swam 45.98 to win the 100 free, which makes her just the 5th woman in history to go under 46 seconds in the event.
Top 5 Performers, Women’s 200 SCY Freestyle
Gretchen Walsh, Virginia – 44.71 Simone Manuel, Stanford – 45.56 Erika Brown, Tennessee – 45.83 Kate Douglass, Virginia – 45.86 Anna Moesch, Virginia – 45.98She again bumped an Olympic gold medalist from that list: Torri Huske, who swam 46.01 at last year’s NCAA Championship meet. Moesch’s previous best was again from a dual meet earlier this year: she swam 46.53 against UNC a month ago. Her best coming into the season was 46.76.
Moesch’s swims come after only doing relays in the team’s opening round matchup with Arizona State on Friday.
Moesch wasn’t the only Cavalier to climb the all-time rankings on Saturday. The freshman Curtis was 2nd in the 100 free in 46.62, which moves her to 17th place all-time, and in the 50 free she swam 21.19, which ties her for 13th-best in history.
Not to be overlooked, Michigan senior Brady Kendall swam 21.34 for 2nd, which also moved her into the top 25 in history.
But Curtis’ most head-turning performances may have come in her relay swims. She split 20.77 on the team’s 200 free relay on a rolling start (the live recap has the relays reversed), and also split 22.83 on the leadoff leg of the team’s winning 200 medley relay.
While Curtis is best-known as a sprint freestyler, she has the kind of speed that really plays in all four strokes, especially in short course.
That 50 back split is the 10th-best performance and makes her the 4th-best performer in history.

Gretchen Walsh, Virginia – 22.10 Maggie MacNeil, Michigan – 22.52 Katharine Berkoff, NC State – 22.76 Sara Curtis, Virginia – 22.83 Claire Curzan, Virginia – 2025While the loss of a star of the power of Gretchen Walsh, maybe the best college swimmer in history, will inevitably leave a hole, this Virginia team is still deep enough to feel secure in their quest for a 6th consecutive title.
