The Tennessee senior helped the Tennessee relay to the 6th fastest relay of all-time as the relay was only six-tenths off of the NCAA record 1:13.35 that Florida set at 2023 NCAAs. The relay’s time from today was notably much faster than they were at 2024 NCAAs as Tennessee finished 5th in March in a 1:14.38. Crooks led that relay off in an 18.14.
All-Time Top 200 Free Relay Performances
- Florida, 1:13.35 (2023)
- Florida, 1:13.49 (2024)
- Cal, 1:13.82 (2023)
- Cal, 1:13.86 (2024)
- Arizona State, 1:13.95 (2024)
- Tennessee, 1:13.96 (2024)
The Tennessee relay from tonight also set a new school record as their previous record was their time of a 1:14.38 from 2024 NCAAs. The school has seen a huge boost in their sprint program the last few years as the top five 200 free relays are now from either 2023 or 2024.
The 19 barrier wasn’t broken until 2005. 20 years later, it’s going to take an 18 to make the B final at NCAAs. At last year’s NCAAs, Bousquet‘s barrier-shattering 18.74 would have put him in the B final. Super fast indeed.
The top six fastest 200 free relays have all been swum within the last two years!?! It’s amazing how much faster sprinters have gotten since Dressel set the new baseline.
Anyone know Crooks schedule for short course worlds?
forgot 2009 Auburn. They are ahead of NC State.
2X world champ coming up!
