Tonight’s 200 medley relay A final saw USC out-touch Pac-12 rival Cal-Berkely for the win with a pool record of 1:21.82, largely due to Carsten Vissering‘s 50 breast split of 22.58, which is among the fastest splits in history.
California’s squad was composed of all American swimmers, which made them eligible to break the American record, a feat they accomplished with Daniel Carr (20.85), Connor Hoppe (23.01), Justin Lynch (19.77) and Ryan Hoffer (18.25) producing a time of 1:21.88, under their old record they set in during this morning’s prelims of 1:21.88.
Third was awarded to Florida’s squad which featured another 17.37 freestyle split from Caeleb Dressel.
Winning the B final was Alabama’s relay who touched in a time of 1:23.71.
Notably, so far at these NCAA championships, there have been four relay events contested and four different universities have won each event.
