(Note: A USA Swimming "Time Search" for Adel verifies she swam the 2:15.26 (200 IM) and 4:45.31 (400 IM) at the 2000 NCAAs; however, she swam faster to qualify for the meet in December 1999, clocking 2:14.26 (2/12/99) and 4:42.32 (3/12/99) at the 2000 UT Invitational in Austin, Texas. She also clocked a 56.68 in the 100 free (4/12/99), which would also be faster than the existing national mark.
