In a thrilling final where the top three swimmers were separated by just .02, Virginia undergrad Matt King and Indiana pro Zach Apple tied for the national title with a 48.44. King was out first at the 50, but Apple closed hard on the final 50 to get his hand on the wall even with King.
Great to see him find success. He earned it.
3x50s on 1:30 all out
Matt ^2, Jack Aikins and now Connery coming in…. I’m thinking UVA guys are gonna be impressive yards and meters these next coming years.
Watching Matt King swim it was always clear he would thrive in LCM. He barely does any underwaters and has such a strong pull.
