The first event of men’s NCAAs, the 200 medley relay, had many historic splits in the all-time top five performers. One swimmer on every stroke swam in the top five performers of all-time.
NC State’s Aiden Hayes led off in a 20.07 becoming #1 all-time in the 50 back. Hayes notably won the NCAA title last year in the 200 fly but showed off his sprinting here. The NC State men had two big choices as they also could have gone with the now #3 performer of all-time Kacper Stokowki. Stokowski was the only returner from their NCAA record-setting relay a year ago.
Cal’s Liam Bell passed Leon Marchand for the fastest 50 breast split of all-time. Bell swam a 22.25, 0.02 seconds faster than Marchand’s 22.27 from a year ago. Marchand notably split a 22.59 tonight, the third fastest of the field.
Florida’s Josh Liendo had the 2nd fastest 50 fly split of all-time, helping the relay to an NCAA record in their win. The final top five performer of all-time is now Arizona State’s Jonny Kulow who anchored in a 17.94.

Crazy that the THIRD place team broke the American Record!
It is strange not to see Dressel on 50 fly list.
He just never swam it. No doubt hed be up there if he did
Yeah Florida didn’t have much in the way of sprinters those days, but they usually had a guy who could fake a 20.0 in the 50 fly, which at the time was a pretty top level split, so they always had him somewhere else. Free or breast.
How come it was fake? And what do you think Dressel could have gone?
Liendo split 18.02 at SEC last year he should be 5th
it’s not very #sprintrevolution of Urlando and Hayes (both being 2 fliers) to hold the records in both sprint backstrokes
Worth noting Kulow was -.02 on his reaction. Not taking away from it being impressive but he def risked it all to split that fast
He gambled and won (not the race, but didn’t get dqed and went ridiculously fast)
I’m calling it now – the 2024 USA 400 free relay will be Dressel, Kulow, Guiliano, and Alexy.
BASED
Yes I think it’s really the 4th spot that’s the only one up for grabs. Alexy looks primed, Giuliano is hot on his tail. Dressel has looked verrrrrry good on his return and I think he’ll be 47 mid or better come summer. But that last spot is anyone’s game. Young guns like Kulow, Williamson. Vets like Held, even guys who could surprise like Lasco are contender s
Luke miller was 19.35
