The Texas Longhorns won their third straight championship title in the 200 free relay thanks to a monster anchor leg from junior Joseph Schooling at 18.34. Florida got off to a strong start thanks to Caeleb Dressel, who led off the Gators with an 18.23, the second fastest 50 free in history. But the Gators did not have the horses to contend with Texas, who had Brett Ringgold (18.96), Jack Conger (18.37), Tate Jackson (18.92) and Schooling. The Longhorns swam a 1:14.59, a little off the NCAA and US Open record held by Auburn from 2009 at 1:14.08.
Florida was second at 1:14.88 and California was third at 1:15.29. NC State, Alabama, Auburn, Missouri and Indiana also swam in the A-final.
This is Texas’ seventh win in the 200 free relay in school history. The 2017 team joins the teams from 2016, 2015, 1996, 1991, 1990 and 1989 to win the event at the NCAA Championships. Texas (74) now has the lead over NC State (70) in the team standings. Florida is in third (66) and Cal is in fourth (62).
