Men’s 100 Fly
NCAA Record: 46.97 – Reed Dalton, Washington University (2015)
2016 Champion: 47.22 – Reed Dalton, Washington University
Fresh off of breaking the D-3 NCAA record in the 100 back this morning, Williams’ Ben Lin earned himself his second-career individual NCAA title. His first was in the 100 back in 2015, an event he will have another shot at later on in the weekend.
A close race the whole way through, Lin split 22.34-25.03 to hold off a charging MIT freshman Bouke Edskes in 47.41 who split 22.31-25.10. The victory certainly did not come easy as Claremont Muddscripps’ Matthew Williams was also in the mix at 47.80 (21.88-25.92). His bold strategy did not work in his favor this time around but the time was still a best by almost a full second.
Andrew Pek of Washington University and Noah Cutting of Linfield College tied for ninth in the consolation final in 48.76.
