Stanford’s David Nolan crashed through the 1:40 barrier in the men’s 200-yard IM as he demolished his NCAA and American record at the NCAA Division I Men’s Championships.
Nolan blasted his way to a stunning effort of 1:39.38, crushing his former record of 1:40.07 set during the Pacific 12 Championships earlier this month. Nolan absolutely blasted the front half of his earlier record, and held on for the rest of the new record.
