Women Making History: Simone Manuel, Lia Neal, and Natalie Hinds

A huge shoutout goes to three African-American swimmers who took the top three finishes in a single event at the Women's Division 1 NCAA Championship. Simone Manuel and Lia Neal of Stanford University, and the University of Florida's Natalie Hinds took the top three spots respectively in the women's 100 yard freestyle on Sunday, March 22, 2015.

Fans who follow swimming closely, would remember that Neal won a bronze medal in the 4x100 free relay at the 2012 Olympic Games in London.

Upon their win, USA Swimming tweeted:

Way to go, ladies, looking for continued greatness in 2016!!!
