ASU’s Jonny Kulow blasted a 17.94 on the end of the Sun Devils’ relay, and while he closed the gap by .40, it wasn’t enough to catch Florida’s Macguire McDuff (18.34). NC State’s Quintin McCarty anchored in 18.16 to squeak past Cal for 3rd place at the finish. Other notable anchors included Tennessee’s Guilherme Santos (18.36), Cal’s Jack Alexy (18.40), Georgia’s Dillon Downing (18.43), Arizona’s Tommy Palmer (18.45), and LSU’s Jere Hribar (18.50).

Swimming in the second-to-last heat, Texas’s Luke Hobson led off with 1:29.13, breaking the NCAA record in the 200 free that had belonged to Harvard’s Dean Farris since 2019.

Four more swimmers broke 1:31 on their leadoffs: Gabriel Jett of Cal (1:30.32), Chris Guiliano of Notre Dame (1:30.36), Alabama’s Charlie Hawke (1:30.66), and Rafael Miroslaw of Indiana (1:30.76).
Another three were sub-1:32: Gal Cohen Groumi of Michigan (1:31.07), Louisville’s Murilo Sartori (1:31.68), and Macguire McDuff of Florida (1:31.82).

With over a body-length lead of the field, Marchand handed off to Hubert Kos, while Cal’s Jett was followed by Destin Lasco. Lasco had 1.35 seconds to make up, and he did so just after flipping at 350. He came home in 22.95 over his last 50 yards, compared to Kos’s 24.74.

NC State had #1 Back, #2 Fly, and #2 free. You’d think with all the caches of sprint speed Braden has recruited over the recent years, he’d have been able to get something more than #16, :23.40, 50 Breast.
There is a video of the 800 free relay at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OiFG1-E6gGE
The same poster has also posted a video of the B final of the 800
Cool that Notre Dame has an 800 FRR guy named Notre Dame but he only went 1:36.21
Texas good but not great. Foster right on where he was at duel meets, Carroza slower than he was last year, and Germonprez slower on both his splits than at BIG 12s. Could be first night freshmen jitters. But not what the longhorns need for the rest of the week.
Modglin also a hair off BIG 12s but Hobson lights out so far.
is ESPN+ not doing on-demand for the men’s NCAAs? I was hoping to re-watch everything
On demand is available. Just have to dig a little to find it. I can’t remember what I did, but i was able to watch.
oh yeah its under replays and not on-demand, thanks.
How did Tennessee not even have a relay for the 8 free?
Compared to last year, Lasco, Alexy (medley), Seeliger, and Rose with slower splits. But Bell and Jett much faster.
Yet everyone is saying cal is swimming insane?
Jett improved a few tenths (from 1:30.74 2023 Silver to 1:30.32LO); Lasco 200 solid but actually a few hundredths slower than last year. The really newly studly swim for Cal was Alexy’s 200 which ‘won’ the 4×200 for them.
It is reallty surprising to not see all sorts of comments dissing Bowman for removing McDonald(1:32.00 rolling, 1:32.06 flat) in favor of Kos, who had a 1:33.59 PB coming into meet; his rolling1:32.26(with a :19.81 opening) against Lasco made him look silly when he in fact did a significant PB.
Fastest medley relay splits add up to 1:19.23. So we’ll probably see sub 120 very soon.
