The men’s meet finished with a bang thanks to Tennessee breaking the NCAA record in the men’s 400 freestyle relay. They finished in 2:42.30 to break their own record of 2:42.41 from last month’s SEC Championships.
Gui Caribe led them off in 40.84, the third fastest split in the field. Lamar Taylor swam 2nd, touching in 41.02 to hand it off to Nikoli Blackman‘s 41.35 in the third spot. Finally, Jordan Crooks brought them home in his last ever NCAA race to split 39.36, the fastest ever 100 freestyle split, by a lot.
Jonny Kulow anchored the 2nd place ASU relay in 39.93, the 2nd fastest rolling split in the field to become only the 2nd person ever to break 40 seconds on a relay.
LSU finished 22nd overall, but Jere Hribar led off their relay with a flat start time of 41.55, which was the 8th fastest flat start in the field. He was just ahead of Quintin McCarty (NC State- 6th), Luca Urlando (Georgia- 11th), and Connor Foote (Texas A&M- 14th) who all split 41.58 to tie for 9th.
Andrei Minakov from Stanford (10) had a very good rolling start, splitting 41.33 on the 2nd leg to tie for the 16th fastest split with NC State’s Luke Miller. Cade Duncan from Northwestern (24th) split 41.88, the 36th ranked split in the field, but he was the only athlete from a team that finished below 20th place to swim a 41 second relay start split.

I love that the Tennessee relay is basically 3 Commonwealth games countries plus Brazil
The guys who swam a leg of this relay the same night they scored in the mile were impressive.
Maurer 14:25.22 and 42.04
Koski 14:38.20 and 41.60
Yumbo, gumbo, Mister Cooks,

Yumbo gumbo in the pool,

Tennessee had a great men’s meet overall as well, not just that relay ….
Funny, I don’t see the same birds chirping about how Tennessee couldn’t deliver at NCAAs (vice SECs) in the last few SwimSwam articles – at least, not about the men. While their women’s team did not quite have as strong a meet as their men, they still had a decent meet.
I’m not a Tennessee apologist, nor a Tennessee fan. But seeing some of the harsh comments about that program, perhaps there isn’t some big systemic issue with taper, or back-to-back championships, or some other alleged coaching/program shortfall at Tennessee. Perhaps sometimes that’s just how it goes, like any other sport. The athletes aren’t machines,… Read more »
This is cool. Is there a relay analysis like this for the other relays?
Yes. Every relay. SwimSwam rocks!
Yes, we did one for each relay.
Pretty impressive to see how men of color performed at this meet. Tennessee won multiple relays. Liendo, crooks, and Gui went 1-2-3 in the 100 free, swimming historically fast times. Julian Smith was incredible
I’m not smart enough or qualified to explain what’s going on, I can only make observations
In the last 40 years, all but 1 male runner the the finals of the Olympics of the 100 has been black.
Will be interesting to see how our sport continues to evolve
A bit weird to make this about race no?
fast swimming can come from anywhere and thankfully the barriers to entry for swimming competitively are gradually getting lifted worldwide
I mean this with complete respect, but it’s amazing what people can do when they’re given the same privileges and access as their neighbors.
Agree 100%
The MAN VOLS got it done! CONGRATULATIONS
