There are always interesting storylines to follow in the media room at the NCAA championships. This year was all about 2nd chances for 1st times. Among athletes who won their first national title after coming painfully close in previous years were Andrew Seliskar (200 IM, 200 free, 200 Breast), Felix Auboeck (1,650), Vini Lanza (100 fly), Zach Apple (400 medley relay), and John Shebat (200 back).
