Out under American record pace, California’s Ryan Murphy settled for defending his 100-yard back title with the third-fastest time ever at the NCAA Division I Men’s Championships.

Murphy, who set the NCAA record with a 44.17 relay leadoff for California yesterday in the 400-yard medley relay, topped the finale in 44.21.  Nick Thoman’s American record of 44.07 for SwimMAC in 2013 still remains in the books.

Murphy joined Tom Shields as the only California Golden Bears to win the 100-yard back in two straight years.  Shields won in 2011 (45.02) and 2012 (44.86).

Stanford’s David Nolan, who won in 2013 with a 44.99, clocked a 44.78 for second to also move into a tie for seventh all time with Shane Ryan.

Ryan, meanwhile, snared third overall tonight in 45.24, while BYU’s Jake Taylor picked up fourth overall in 45.45.

Jack Conger added to Texas’ leading tally with a seventh-place 45.76.  The Longhorns had 362 points after the 100 back with California standing second with 249 points.
