Harvard junior Dean Farris got off to a huge start in the 200 free on Wednesday night at the 2019 NCAA Division I Men’s Swimming and Diving Championships in Austin, Texas. Farris swam a 1:29.15 to take down Townley Haas’s record of 1:29.50 set in 2018. Farris is now the third man to break 1:30 in the history of the sport, joining Haas and Blake Pieroni (1:29.63).
Farris was faster than all of the other lead-off legs in the entire relay by almost a full second with Cal’s Andrew Seliskar leading off in a 1:30.14 to move up to fourth all-time. Indiana’s Zach Apple also led off the Hoosiers with a 1:30.34 to move up to fifth all-time.
Harvard finished in seventh place with their team of Farris, Brennan Novak (1:33.77), Mahlon Reihman (1:34.39) and Corban Rawls (1:34.42).
