2020–2022: National records, NCAA title, national title

In February 2020, Dobler swam the fastest 100-yard breaststroke by a woman in the history of high school swimming in the United States, setting a new national high school record in the event at the 2020 Oregon 6A State Championships with her time of 58.35 seconds.[9][10][11] Her record marked the first time in approximately 30 years that an Oregonian set a national record.[12] In December, she won the 100-meter breaststroke at the 2020 U.S. Open Swimming Championships held in Irvine, California, with a time of 1:08.77.[5] Two months later, she set a new National Age Group record in the 100-yard breaststroke for the girls 17–18 years old age group, with a time of 57.71 seconds in a collegiate dual meet against the UCLA Bruins that lowered the national mark by over three-tenths of a second from the former record of 58.10 seconds by Rebecca Soni from 2009.[13]

At the 2021 NCAA Division I Championships in Greensboro, North Carolina, Dobler placed 11th overall, third in the consolation final, in the 50-yard freestyle with a personal best time of 21.92 seconds.[1][14] The following day, she made the podium in her first ever event at an NCAA Division I Championships, winning the silver medal in the 100-yard breaststroke with a time of 57.46 seconds, which was just 0.23 seconds slower than the winning time of 57.23 seconds swum by Sophie Hansson.[15][16][17]

2022 NCAA Championships
	100 yd breaststroke	56.93

For the NCAA Championships her sophomore, second, year with the USC Trojans, the 2022 NCAA Division I Championships in Atlanta, Georgia in March, Dobler won her first NCAA title in the 100-yard breaststroke with a Pac-12 Conference record and USC Trojans record time of 56.93 seconds.[18][19][20][21] She was the first woman from the USC Trojans's swim program to win an NCAA title in the 100-yard breaststroke since 2009, when Rebecca Soni won the NCAA title in the event.[18] The time of 56.93 seconds also ranked Dobler as the sixth-fastest performer in the event in NCAA history, behind Lilly King, Molly Hannis, Sophie Hansson, Alexis Wenger, and Anna Elendt.[18][22]

The following month, at the 2022 USA Swimming International Team Trials in Greensboro, North Carolina, Dobler placed second in the 50-meter breaststroke with a personal best time of 30.34 seconds, finishing just one-hundredth of a second ahead of third-place finisher Lydia Jacoby.[23][24][25] For the 100-metre breaststroke, she placed third with a personal best time of 1:06.19.[26][27] Her top-two finish and FINA "A" cut time of 30.34 seconds in the 50-metre breaststroke were deemed not satisfactory in qualifying for the 2022 World Aquatics Championships by USA Swimming, instead selecting the second-place finisher in the 100-metre breaststroke, who did not compete in the 50-meter breaststroke event at the Team Trials, for the second roster spot in the 50-metre breaststroke.[28][29][30] A little over two months later, she was named to the 2022 Duel in the Pool roster for the United States.[31] Ten days later, she won the gold medal and national title in the 100-meter breaststroke, with a time of 1:06.88, at the 2022 US National Championships, held in Irvine, California.[32]
