Just 24 hours after breaking the 3-minute barrier in the 400 medley relay, Texas had a similar performance in the 200 medley relay Friday night, smashing the NCAA and US Open record with a 1:21.54. That smashed Michigan’s 1:22.27 from the 2013 NCAA Championships. In fact, the top two teams were under that record. John Shebat (20.84), Will Licon (22.91), Joseph Schooling (19.45) and Brett Ringgold (18.34) are the new record holders in that relay.
Alabama swam in second with a 1:21.89, the second fastest swim in history. The Crimson Tide were led by Connor Oslin’s 20.39 backstroke split that was the fastest in the field. Oslin, Pavel Romanov, Luke Kaliszak and Zane Waddell swam for the Tide on that relay. California was third at 1:22.28. Oslin, Licon, Schooling and Caeleb Dressel had the fastest splits for each stroke on that relay. Dressel swam a 17.93, a little slower than his 17.71 this morning.
Missouri (1:22.48), Florida (1:23.08), NC State (1:23.18), Stanford (1:23.74) and Louisville (1:24.06) also competed in the A-final.
Texas now has five NCAA titles in the 200 medley relay. The 2017 team joins the teams from 2003, 2001, 2000 and 1991 to win the 200 medley relay at the NCAA championships for the Longhorns.
