Men’s 400 IM
NCAA Record: 3:46.62 – Harrison Curley, Kenyon (2015)
2016 Champion: 3:47.63 – Jackson Lindell, Denison
In Pierce-like fashion, Denison’s Jackson Lindell also defended his national title in the 400 IM. His swim of 3:47.31 gave him the win by over three seconds. Primarily a backstroker, it was Lindell’s breaststroke split of 1:04.77 that gave him the advantage of NYU’s runner-up Ian Rainey and Kenyon’s Ian Reardon/NYU’s Reid Hensen who tied for third.
The Kenyon Lords scored 49.5 points in this event, a huge swing to catch the leader, Emory who did not have any swimmers in these two finals. There is now an 11.5 point difference between the two teams; neither team has a swimmer in the 100 fly and both have two competitors in the 200 freestyle.
Drew Hamilton of Case Western Reserve took the consolation final in a best time 3:57.85. This was just enough to edge out Kenyon’s Colin Reardon who swam a 3:57.89. Reardon had the race through the 300 mark, but could not keep up with Hamilton’s 54.18 free leg.
