Good Morning, Hoos! UVA alum Gretchen Walsh won the 100m Butterfly on Thursday, the third day of the 2025 Toyota National Championships, being held through tomorrow (June 7) at the Indiana University Natatorium in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Walsh went 54.76 in the 100 fly final, winning the event by 1.85 seconds over second-place finisher Torri Huske. It was the second national title of the meet for Walsh, who won the 50m Butterfly on Wednesday (June 4).

Walsh was one of six podium finishes for the Cavaliers on Thursday night. Katie Grimes, Emma Weber and incoming freshman Thomas Heilman won silver in their events, with Leah Hayes and Claire Curzan winning bronze.

Today’s events will include the 400m Freestyle, 100m Breaststroke and 100m Backstroke. Prelims are at 10 a.m., with finals starting at 7 p.m.

What else do we have brewing this morning?

🔼 Great Scott, Indeed. Virginia head women’s golf coach, Ria Scott, has been named the East Region Coach of the Year by the Women’s Golf Coaches Association (WGCA), as announced by the organization Thursday (June 5). Scott becomes the first Cavalier coach to receive the honor since Kim Lewellen in 2009.

This season, Scott led the Cavaliers to an eighth-place finish at the NCAA Championships, and their first appearance in match play at the NCAA Championships since the 2016 season. It marked Virginia’s second appearance in match play since the format was introduced in 2015.

🔼 Ducks in a Row. The Thomas Temple Allan Boathouse sits on the west bank of the Rivanna Reservoir, and inside the facility hang banners commemorating the proud history of the University of Virginia rowing program.

Under head coach Kevin Sauer, who retired last year, the Cavaliers won 22 ACC championships and recorded 17 top-five finishes at NCAA regattas, with team titles in 2010 and 2012. But UVA has finished better than ninth at NCAAs only twice in the past eight years, a decline of which the program’s current members are well aware.

There were encouraging signs this season, however.
