Pac-12 Men’s Championships: Arizona State Sets NCAA Record in 200 Medley Relay (Video)
The final Pac-12 Championships are here, as the men will take the conference’s bows at the Weyerhaeuser King County Aquatic Center starting Wednesday. It may well be a championship swansong, in the final conference championships before the league’s remnants are sent to the four corners of the college sports world next season, a second battle this season between potential NCAA championship contenders in Cal and Arizona State.
And boy did it start with a bang.
Arizona State set an NCAA record in the 200 medley relay right out of the gates, the foursome of Jack Dolan, Leon Marchand, Ilya Kharun and Jonny Kulow going 1:20.55 to take down the record set by NC State at NCAAs last year.
It’s quite the start for a four-day meet, which runs through Saturday.

200 Medley Relay
It’s an NCAA record right out of the gate. The splits in 2023:
- Kacper Stokowski 20.36 – Mason Hunter 22.95 – Nyls Korstanje 19.15 – David Curtiss 18.21
The splits Wednesday:
- Jack Dolan 20.30 – Leon Marchand 22.71 – Ilya Kharun 19.30 – Jonny Kulow 18.24
The scary part is that Marchand was faster last year, at 22.27 at NCAAs, as the Sun Devils went 1:21.07. So there’s more meat left on the bone maybe? That previous time had been the Pac-12 record, and the Sun Devils were more than one second faster than their meet record from last year.

Three teams are headed to NCAAs. Arizona booked an A cut of 1:22.90, Tommy Palmer splitting 18.33 off the end. Stanford was third in 1:23.14, Rafael Gu’s 19.97 on fly a big one. Cal was fourth, though they fielded a largely B squad with an A cut already in hand.

800 free relay
Make it three straight years with Arizona State on top in the 800 free relay. The foursome of Leon Marchand, Patrick Sammon, Owen McDonald and Julian Hill went 6:06.14. That slices .16 seconds off the meet and conference record the Sun Devils set last year. Marchand led off in 1:30.43, which is within three tenths of Andrew Seliskar’s conference record from 2019 (1:30.14).
Four teams secured NCAA A cuts. Stanford finished second in 6:10.08, led by Henry McFadden’s 1:30.87 anchor leg. Cal was third in 6:10.53. Arizona added a A cut in 6:15.72.
