Georgia’s Chase Kalisz wiped one of Ryan Lochte‘s swims from the SEC record book on Wednesday night at the 2017 SEC Championships, breaking the 200 IM SEC Meet Record in 1:41.28. That knocked about a half second off Lochte’s prevously record of 1:41.76 from the 2005 SEC Championships.
Kalisz’s Splits by Stroke:
- Fly- 22.54
- Back- 25.62
- Breast- 28.39
- Free- 24.73
Kalisz trailed through the front half of the race, sitting in 4th after the backstroke leg. He made a big move with his 28.39 breast split, however, and took the lead as the swimmers turned at the 150. Florida’s Mark Szaranek made a big push on the final 50, clocking a 24.16 free split to Kalisz’s 24.73. It was just shy of enough, though, as Kalisz held on to touch 2 hundredths ahead of Szaranek (1:41.30) and win his first title of the 2017 SEC Championships. Both swimmers hit the NCAA ‘A’ qualifying standard.
i was just as impressed with the UF swimmer, Mark Szaranek, who got second.
Yet he was .02 SLOWER than the pt 1:41.26 he swam in early December @ the ‘ Dawg Invitational.
And how about that Siuth Carolina guy who eon the 500 in a or 4:11.0! Who he?
This is how you redshirt Santo
