Following Diving, California and Florida had the strongest mornings. Texas kept itself on pace to win Eddie Reese’s 11th career coaching title with seven A finals and two B finals. California and Florida, meanwhile, each claimed five A finals and three B finals.
Georgia also has seven final swims with two A finals and five B finals.
Michigan and NC State each claimed six point-scoring swims with Michigan qualifying six A finalists, and NC State gaining three A finals and three B finals. Southern California also has six spots tonight with three A finals and three B finals.

[table “” not found /]Men’s 200 free relay
The top seed in the men’s 200-yard free relay, N.C. State, which came into the meet with a top time of 1:15.62, originally picked up a relay exchange violation disqualification in what was the biggest stunner of the morning.
N.C. State had started to make it a bit of a habit with some huge relay disqualifications. In 2013, N.C. State lost its 800-yard free relay at the Atlantic Coast Conference Championships after a swimmer jumped into the water to congratulate anchor David Williams for a win against Virginia.
Then, at the 2014 NCAA Division I Men’s Championships, N.C. State drew a preliminary disqualification in this same event, the 200-yard free relay, for an early takeoff as well.
However, the NCAA rules committee later decided to overturn the disqualification that had already undergone review with Simonas Bilis, Ryan Held, Andreas Schiellerup and David Williams regaining their 1:15.79 for the top spot. That bumped Stanford out of the top eight and Indiana out of the top 16.
NC State head coach Braden Holloway explains the relay disqualification appeal process.
Southern California’s Santo Condorelli, Dylan Carter, Ralf Tribuntsov and Cristian Quintero put up the second-fastest time of the morning with a 1:15.85.
Texas’ Matt Ellis, John Murray, Jack Conger and Kip Darmody also cleared 1:16 with a third-seeded 1:15.91.
Auburn’s Jacob Molacek, Arthur Mendes, Michael Duderstadt and Kyle Darmody clocked a fourth-seeded 1:16.35.
Meanwhile, Florida’s Caeleb Dressel downed the 17-18 U.S. National Age Group record in the 50-yard free as Florida’s leadoff. Read more about the record here.

[table “” not found /]Men’s 500 free
Texas had a huge 500-yard free effort this morning, claiming three A final spots in the finals tonight.
Clark Smith, out under American record pace at the 200 with a 1:37.56, took the top seed in 4:11.17. Teammate Sam Lewis snared the second seed with a 4:12.44, while Jonathan Roberts claimed the sixth seed with a 4:13.10.
For a team with as deep of a history as the Longhorns have, it surprisingly has never won the 500-yard free at the NCAA Division I Men’s Championships.
Florida’s Dan Wallace qualified third overall with a 4:12.52, while teammate Mitch D’Arrigo took fourth with a 4:12.72. Defending champion Cristian Quintero of Southern California qualified seventh overall in 4:13.24.

Texas’ Will Licon cut nearly a second off his personal best with a blistering time of 1:40.68 to lead the way in the 200 IM.
Licon’s time jumped him from 10th in the all time rankings to sixth as he became just the sixth swimmer to ever clear 1:41. Licon was out under American-record pace at the 150 with a 1:15.71, but couldn’t keep up the pace to challenge David Nolan’s American record of 1:40.07 from earlier this month at the Pacific 12 Championships.
