Ulieme's morning split was 24.19 and Hannah Erickson (24.05), Allison Dasky (23.74) and Rileigh Eding (23.60) went even faster as Albion achieved the 15th fastest qualifying time (1:35.58).
The Britons went faster in the 'B' final in the evening at 1:35.41 Ulieme and Erickson set 24.24 splits, Dasky went 23.62 and Eding anchored in 23.31.
The relay becomes Albion's first swimming All-Americans since Terry Evelyn in 1995. Albion's last female All-American at the NCAA Championships was diver Emily Magyar in 2010.
