And what a year it was!
NCAA records were broken in 11 of the 14 individual events, and also in two relays. In many cases (500 free, 2IM, 4IM, 2back) multiple swimmers ducked under the old records. Andrew Wilson was certainly a spectacle of his own, but the meet as a whole was really impressive.
This was a breakthrough year for d3 swimming. So exciting to watch. Every year, the whole sport of swimming gets faster at every level, but I see d3 as moving exceptionally fast. So excited to see what is in store for the future.
My comment above was geared more towards the mens side. I see the same trends on the women’s side, but much less so this year (only two records broken, I believe). In most cases, the top time in women’s events was well off the records. An interesting discrepancy in my opinion
