U.S. women's swimming rankings going into 2025 Toyota National Championships
In yet another sign of Gretchen Walsh's progression, she goes into next week's Toyota U.S. Swimming Championships ranked No. 1 in the country in four different events. The top two finishers per event — plus up to the top six in the 100m and 200m freestyles for relay purposes — make the team for the World Championships in Singapore in July and August, should they meet a minimum qualifying time and the total roster not exceed 26 swimmers per gender. Advertisement Walsh followed her first Olympics and first world record in 2024 by again breaking the 100m butterfly world record at her most recent meet — twice in one day at the Tyr Pro Series stop in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. She is the fastest woman in the world this year in the 50m and 100m freestyle and 50m and 100m butterfly, according to World Aquatics rankings. Katie Ledecky is the only American woman to win four events at a single spring or summer nationals in the last decade — taking the 200m through 1500m frees at the last two Olympic Trials. The 50m butterfly, which makes its Olympic debut in 2028, hasn't been contested at all of those nationals, though.
