NCAA Record Holder Alex Walsh Announces Return To Virginia For COVID-19 Fifth Year
Alex Walsh has announced on Instagram that she will return to Virginia to use her COVID-19 fifth year.
Walsh helped the Virginia women to their 4th straight NCAA team title this past season. She went 3 for 3 in individual NCAA titles as she won the 200 IM, 400 IM, and 200 breast. She swam personal best times in all three events swimming a 2:02.07 in the 200 breast, a 1:49.20 in the 200 IM, and a 3:55.97 in the 400 IM.
Walsh also swam on four relays for the Cavaliers, swimming on the 200, 400, and 800 free relays as well as on the 400 medley relay. The 200 and 400 freestyle relays and the 400 medley relay won the 2024 NCAA title. The team’s 800 free relay finished 4th.
A month prior, Walsh helped the team to another ACC title. Despite not swimming the event at NCAAs, Walsh swam an NCAA record in the 200 fly at ACCs as she swam a 1:49.16. That also was the first time swimming the event since she was 2nd in the event at 2023 NCAAs.
Walsh has won a total of eight individual NCAA titles over the course of her career so far with the Cavaliers. As a junior, she won the 400 IM and was 2nd in the 200 fly and 3rd in the 200 IM. As a sophomore, she swept her individual events winning the 200 IM, 400 IM, and 200 fly. In her freshman season, she won the 200 IM and was 5th in both the 200 free and 200 breast.
The return of Walsh is key for the team as they look to make a run for five straight titles. Walsh was one of five seniors on the NCAA roster for the team this past season that also included fifth-year Ella Nelson. The five seniors plus Nelson scored a total of 176 individual points as the team scored a total of 527.5 points to finish ahead of Texas who had 441 points.
In addition to the seniors’ individual contributions were their relay contributions. The return of Walsh helps solidify that at least half of their relay legs return for next fall as Jasmine Nocentini and Maxine Parker have not yet announced their decisions. The team will also welcome the arrivals of names such as Claire Curzan, Leah Hayes, and Anna Moesch.

Local EMS provider receives 2024 Governor of Virginia’s Award for Outstanding EMS Prehospital Educator
PULASKI COUNTY, Va. (WDBJ) – Years of dedication, thousands of hours of service and countless students taught… The hard work paid off as an EMS provider serving our hometowns was awarded the 2024 Governor of Virginia’s Award for Outstanding EMS Prehospital Educator.
“I really didn’t believe it when they told me I won,” said Michael Garnett.
Michael Garnett has worked in EMS for 35 years in the Roanoke and New River Valleys with 22 years as an EMS educator.
“The education is being able to derive our providers the competence and confidence that they need to adequately work with patients,” explained Garnett.
The award recognizes Garnett as an educator who “exemplifies outstanding teaching and leadership qualities” and “consistently demonstrates excellence and a dedication to the education of prehospital EMS providers.” He was invited to a ceremony in the Governor’s Mansion in Richmond where Governor Glenn Youngkin gave him the award.
“It was really an honor because I never expected to be in the Governor’s Mansion and I never expected to actually win the award itself. But I have to say that it was definitely a lifetime event,” said Garnett.
Garnett’s colleagues say only 2% of EMS have an educator status.
“It’s a very small number of people putting in the time and effort and have the dedication to even become an educator, and to reach the level of excellence that Mike has done” said Nathaniel Davis, the Administrative Captain for Pulaski County Public Safety.
And the county is honored to celebrate on of their own. Johnathan Sweet, the County Administrator for Pulaski County, said “it’s just it’s confirmation that some of the best and the brightest come from Southwestern Virginia. So appropriate that some of the best and the brightest are preparing future best and brightest.”
Garnett looks forward to continuing his work in the industry.
“It actually gives me incentive to keep going forward and to be able to keep doing what I’m doing,” he said. “Just being able to keep going forward with the progression of EMS education and adding my little bit of a footprint to what these providers learn and what they’re able to do.”

A Virginia company’s job listing inviting only White people and the U.S.-born to apply for a position didn’t just raise eyebrows online — it also caught the attention of the U.S. government.
Arthur Grand Technologies’ job advertisement last year restricted eligible candidates to “only US Born Citizens [white]” and those living within 60 miles of Dallas, Texas, noted the U.S. Department of Justice, which determined that the Ashburn, Va.-based company’s discriminatory listing violated the Immigration and Nationality Act.
A recruiter working for an Arthur Grand subsidiary in India posted the ad on job site Indeed in March and April of 2023 for a business analyst position with the company’s sales and insurance claims team. The ad was widely circulated on social media and generated multiple news stories.
“It is shameful that in the 21st century, we continue to see employers using ‘whites only’ and ‘only US born’ job postings to lock out otherwise eligible job candidates of color,” Kristen Clarke, assistant attorney general with the department’s civil rights division, said in a statement. “I share the public’s outrage at Arthur Grand’s appalling and discriminatory ban on job candidates based on citizenship status, national origin, color and race.”
Arthur Grand did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
The company earlier denied approving the ad and said it had been placed by a disgruntled worker looking to embarrass the company, according to a settlement with the Justice Department.
The company will pay a civil penalty of $7,500 under the agreement to resolve the matter. It also agreed to pay $31,000 to compensate those who filed complaints with the Department of Labor.
