University of Arizona sophomore Roland Schoeman set a US Open record in the 100m free during prelims at the men's NCAA Swimming Championships, as foreign swimmers took the top three places.
Schoeman, a South African, went 47.89 to break American Jason Lezak's 1999 mark of 48.19. Another South African, Hawaii junior Nick Folker, tied with California senior Bart Kizierowski from Poland to qualify second in 48.08 – also under the old record.
