RICHMOND, Va. – Sophomore Melissa Nwakalor prepares for her first NCAA Championships at Washington State University in Federal Way, Washington.

Nwakalor will compete in the 50 free on Thursday, March 20 and the 100 free on Saturday, March 22. Preliminaries will begin at 1 p.m. EST, and finals will begin at 9 p.m. EST.

To follow, live results and live stream can be found here.

Nwakalor is one of only five Mid-Major swimmers to go sub-22 in the 50 free. In this event, she holds the second fastest time of all the Mid-Majors in this year's championships.

Nwakalor had a record-breaking season, as she broke her own record and the Atlantic 10 record in the 50 free twice. At the Atlantic 10 Championships, she tied her record with a 21.98 and captured gold.

In the 100 free, Nwakalor set a new school record at the A-10 Championships with a time of 48.78. Her NIC B cut from earlier this season earned her an invitation to swim in this event in Washington.
