The College Swimming and Diving Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) released its 2022 NCAA Division I winners and All-Americans on Tuesday afternoon and Virginia was well represented. Junior Kate Douglass was named the 2022 ACSAA Female Swimmer of the Competition and Head Coach Todd DeSorbo was named the ACSAA Female Swim Coach of the Year for the second straight season. Additionally, 22 female and male swimmers from Virginia have earned All-American honors in a total of 75 NCAA events.
DeSorbo coached the Cavalier women to back-to-back national championships, as UVA won 11 of 18 possible events, including four relay titles, to claim the 2022 NCAA Women’s Swimming and Diving Championship. Virginia also set new American records in five different events.
Three of those American records were broken by Kate Douglass, who swam what is widely considered to be the greatest individual performance at the NCAA championships of all time. Douglass won the NCAA title in the 50-yard freestyle, 100-yard butterfly and 200-yard backstroke, accomplishing the unprecedented feat of placing first in three different strokes and three different distances, all in record time. She was also a member of the Virginia 200 yard freestyle relay, 200 yard medley relay, 400 yard freestyle relay and 400 yard medley relay teams. Douglass finished first in each of the seven events she entered.
