200 breaststroke
Evgenii Somov, fresh off a win in the 100 breast, may be the favorite. But the Louisville senior isn’t the top seed. That honor goes to Notre Dame’s Josh Bottelberghe by .07 seconds in 1:53.34. Pitt’s Cooper van der Laan is third with Caio Pumputis of Georgia Tech fourth.
In the team race, Somov is Louisville’s only rep in the A or B final. NC State is locked out of the A final with two B finalists.
There were some key DQs as Virginia’s Matthew Otto was called for a one hand touch as he would have been seeded seventh while Virginia Tech’s Keith Myburgh would have been in the B-Final.
