Texas junior Joseph Schooling put on a show in day 2 prelims of the 2017 Big 12 Swimming and Diving Championships. In the 50 free, Schooling touched in 19.18 to tie the 13-year-old mark set by Ian Crocker back in 2004. That cut over half a second off his previous best flat start time of 19.70 from 2016 Big 12s.
Also putting up an impressive morning swim was his teammate Jack Conger, who finished 2nd in prelims with a quick 19.20. That bettered his previous lifetime best of 19.42 from the 2015 Big 12 meet. Tonight’s final is shaping up to be an exciting race. The field will include not only Schooling and Conger, but also Texas sprint stars Tate Jackson and Brett Ringgold.
Ringgold has been as fast as 19.07 before, which he posted at least season’s NCAAs. Jackson, on the other hand, boasts a lifetime best 19.25 rom last season’s Big 12s. With the 4 of them going head-to-head, it could take a sub-19 to win the gold.
He’s so handsome.. Im so crazy to him.
I wonder how much people like Tate Jackson, Brett Ringgold or any other big sprinters at Texas envy Schooling for being able to go that fast in a 50 when thats not even his prime event
Probably no envy at all. Firstly, he’s a teammate. Secondly, if you focus on factors you are not able to control, you won’t succeed.
Welcome back
They race him every day. They know that he is faster than most in many events
Schooling is a Olympic gold medalist and a textile WR record holder in Lcm. He’s going to be faster than them in every event.
UT is so deep at this meet, might as well call it an “inter-squad” meet. Even their relay teams would have finished 1-2-3 if they allowed more than 1 to count for points.
By the way am I the only one getting the UT vs arizona lie results when i click on the link above?
