Secchi’s win marked his seventh individual victory in three days. The 22-year-old Frenchman also added a trio of relay triumphs in the 200 free relay (19.93 leadoff), 200 medley relay (20.41 50 fly split), 400 medley relay (45.03 100 fly split), the 400 free relay (43.22 100 free relay split).
In Thursday’s 100 fly win, Secchi lowered his lifetime best to 46.11. BYU’s Javier Nicolas Matta placed second in that race with a 46.40, taking a chunk off his previous best of 47.18 and breaking a Cougars program record in the process. The 22-year-old Spaniard also earned runner-up finishes in the 50 free (19.79) and 100 free (43.45).
Also taking down a BYU program record was Brad Prolo, whose third-place finish in the 200 fly (1:43.26) dropped a few tenths of a second off his previous best from March. McKendree’s Jack Lustig (1:42.14) and Secchi reached the wall ahead of Prolo. Lustig was more than a second and a half faster than his previous school record of 1:43.66 from the Division II National Championships in March. Both Secchi and Lustig were also under the old meet record of 1:42.28 set by Missouri’s Micah Slaton in 2019.

Great job underselling Jackson Lustig. Kid is an absolute beast, country needs to take notice.
I’m sorry, but you read this paragraph as “underselling”? Y’all just don’t quit do you?

Is McKendree trying to meme themselves? Or are they this annoying IRL? What even is a McKendree?
One big W in the pool, and they’ve followed it with 15 huge Ls in the comments.
What did they do?
First of all, if I were a underclassman at a small Div II school who just got written up in SWIMSWAM after a big Div I competition that was successful in describing my tough swim against a seasoned and older foreign swimmer , I would be very happy .
Secondly , since someone is questioning the legitimacy of this small academic institution in the southern part of Illinois
