PHOENIX, Arizona, March 17. THIS past week has been completely crazy on SwimmingWorldMagazine.com First, the fastest meet on the planet is taking place in what could possibly be the fastest pool on the planet in Minneapolis, Minn., with the men's NCAA Division I Championships lighting up the Midwest.
Two short years after watching Fred Bousquet torch the Dorothy L. Sheppard Pool at the University of Minnesota with a pair of 18s in the 50-yard free, Cesar Cielo and Ben Wildman-Tobriner decided to join him sub-19, while Cielo doubled up with matching 18.69s in the leadoff and final heat. Take a look at our wall-to-wall coverage of the meet as Auburn head coach David Marsh shoots for #12 to match incoming successor Richard Quick for the most career NCAA coaching titles.
Meanwhile, Division II and Division III meets continued, while the high school beat covered by Brian Savard kept us busy with daily reports on state championships.
Erin Greene checked in with coverage of various Speedo Sectional meets throughout the country, while Swimming World Radio kept busy at men's NCAAs.
