AUSTIN – Texas’ Jack Conger blew by 52 seconds in the 100 fly now that he’s not doing the 500-yard free anymore.

Conger talked with Swimming World after the race to explain how his breathing pattern has changed, and also how he potentially plans on tackling the NCAA season.

Jack Conger Breaks 52 For First Time

100 fly

Texas’ Jack Conger crushed the 52-second barrier for the first time in the men’s 100-meter fly as he blasted the field with a sizzling time of 51.64.

That swim decimated his previous lifetime best of 52.51 from the 2013 World University Games, and would have ranked him eighth in the world last year. That’s still fifth among Americans in 2014, but getting into the 51-second range puts Conger in the discussion going forward.

Texas’ Tripp Cooper finished second overall with a time of 52.91, while NCAP’s Andrew Seliskar touched third with a time of 53.20.

SwimMAC’s Ryan Lochte picked up fourth place overall with a time of 53.23.
