Men’s 200 free relay

While Texas picked up the men’s 200-yard free relay title to start the night, Florida’s Caeleb Dressel continued his ridiculous consistency with an 18.24 50-yard free leadoff at the 2016 NCAA Division I Men’s Championships.

Texas’ Brett Ringgold (19.07), Joseph Schooling (18.53), Jack Conger (18.74) and John Murray (18.54) clocked in with a 1:14.88 for the win.  That’s Texas’ sixth victory ever in the event’s history.

Previous Texas Winners:

1989 Texas (Shaun Jordan, Keith Anderson, Alex Wittig, Doug Gjertsen), 1:18.44
1990 Texas (Shaun Jordan, Jack Currin, Doug Dickinson, Alex Wittig), 1:18.73
1991 Texas (Shaun Jordan, Brett Stone, Alex Wittig, Doug Dickinson), 1:18.32
1996 Texas (Brian Esway, Sean McGrath, Steve Martyak, Neil Walker), 1:17.90
2015 Texas (Matt Ellis, John Murray, Jack Conger, Kip Darmody) 1:15.86

They are the first team to repeat in this event since Auburn ran off four straight from 2006-09.

NC State’s Simonas Bilis (18.77), Joe Bonk (19.15), Andreas Schiellerup (18.89) and Ryan Held (18.28) cranked out a second-place time of 1:15.09, while Alabama’s Kristian Gkolomeev (18.92), Laurent Bams (19.22), Lucas Kaliszak (18.95) and Brett Walsh (19.07) placed third in 1:16.16.

Florida, led by the second-fastest 50 free of all time from Dressel (18.24), finished fourth by way of Dressel (18.24), Corey Main (19.43), Mark Szaranek (19.21) and Jack Blyzinskyj (19.33) putting up a 1:16.21.

Men’s 500 free

Last year, Texas finally won its first 500 free title in program history. This year, the Longhorns defended that title with a win from Townley Haas at the 2016 NCAA Division I Men’s Championships.

With defending champion Clark Smith finishing a surprising 21st this morning, freshman Haas had to step up big to keep the title in Austin. Out under American record pace through the first half of the race, Haas settled for the sixth-fastest time ever as he moved to fifth all-time in the event’s history with a 4:09.00.

Florida’s Mitch D’Arrigo, meanwhile, gave Haas all he could handle with a 4:09.98 for second.  That moved D’Arrigo up from 15th to ninth all time in the event’s history.

Southern California’s Reed Malone clinched third overall in 4:12.55.

Men’s 200 IM

Texas’ Will Licon skyrocketed to second all time in the men’s 200-yard IM as he delivered Texas’ fourth title of the meet at the 2016 NCAA Division I Men’s Championships.

Licon unleashed a 1:40.04 for the title, behind only David Nolan’s record of 1:39.38.  That’s Texas’ third win ever in the event.  Nate Dusing won in 2001, while Austin Surhoff claimed the title in 2010.

With four wins already, Texas is already closing in on its record of 11 event victories from 2001.

The overall heat also proved to be one of the fastest 200 IMs of all time as California’s Josh Prenot (1:40.14) and Ryan Murphy (1:40.27) put up the sixth and seventh-fastest 200 IMs ever.

Men’s 400 medley relay

All sorts of records fell as Texas cranked out a win in the men’s 400-yard medley relay at the 2016 NCAA Division I Men’s Championships.

Texas’ John Shebat (45.36), Will Licon (50.69), Joseph Schooling (43.34) and Jack Conger (41.29) unleashed a 3:00.68 for the win.  That swim blasted Texas’ previous U.S. Open and NCAA record of 3:01.23 from last year.  California’s American record of 3:01.60 from last year remained on the books due to Schooling’s Singapore nationality.

That’s Texas’ 13th victory in the event’s history at NCAAs, breaking a tie with Stanford atop the rankings.

Texas is having a historic meet thus far, capturing five of the first seven titles on offer.  Texas holds the record for most wins in a single meet with 11 from 2001, and should have a shot at breaking that record.

California’s Ryan Murphy broke the American and NCAA record in the 100-yard back with a scorching 43.51. That’s the first sub-44 second swim ever, beating Nick Thoman’s American record of 44.07 from 2013 as part of SwimMAC, as well as Murphy’s NCAA record of 44.17 from NCAAs last year.

Murphy (43.51), Josh Prenot (50.71), Justin Lynch (45.03) and Long Gutierrez (42.03) placed second in 3:01.28 tonight, while Louisville’s Grigory Tarasevich (45.24), Carlos Claverie (51.62), Pedro Coutinho (45.85) and Trevor Carroll (42.02) placed third in 3:04.73.

Missouri (3:04.99), Florida (3:05.19), Tennessee (3:05.23), Indiana (3:05.57) and NC STate (3:08.12) rounded out the top eight.

Alabama would have placed third with a 3:04.32 from the consolation heat.
