Crooks is in good form this week, having won the 50 freestyle and leading Tennessee to its first men’s relay title since 1996.
Crooks is searching for his third career individual NCAA title, having won the 50 free in 2023 and this year, posting six times under 18 seconds, a club to which he and Dressel belong. He was fifth in the 100 free as a freshman and sophomore, then fourth last year. Eleven of his 12 individual swims have landed him in A finals at NCAAs. In addition to his win in the 50 free this week, he tied for sixth in the 200 free.
