Texas’ Will Licon upset NCAA and American-record holder Chase Kalisz of Georgia in the men’s 400-yard IM at the NCAA Division I Men’s Championships.
Licon threw down a stunning time of 3:36.37 to move to fourth all time in the event’s history, while Kalisz settled for second with a 3:39.51, well off his NCAA record of 3:34.50.
Licon completed a sweep for Texas as the 400-yard IM had been the only event left on the schedule that the Longhorns had never won, along with the 500-yard free that Clark Smith cleared last night.
Georgia’s Gunnar Bentz took third overall tonight in 3:39.87 as Georgia claimed some big points.
