Cothern has represented the Hogs at the NCAA Championships the past two seasons as part of the 200 and 400 Freestyle Relay in 2022 and 2023 as well as the 200 Medley Relay in last season’s NCAA Championships

Betsy Wizard will compete in the 100 and 200 Fly, and she is the first Razorback to earn a spot in the NCAA Championships for a Butterfly event since Chelsea Tatlow in 2017. This will be Wizard’s first time representing the Hogs at the NCAA Championships.

Alessia Ferraguti, coming off a spectacular performance at the SEC Championships, will swim the 100 and 200 Breast. Ferraguti was part of the 2023 200 and 400 Freestyle Relay as well as the 200 Medley Relays that represented the Razorbacks in last year’s NCAA Championships.
