Commentary by Jeff Commings<\/i><\/p>\n

TUCSON \u2013 David Nolan took down the legendary Ryan Lochte\u2019s American record of 1:40.08 in the 200-yard individual medley last night at the Pac 12 championships with a 1:40.07. It\u2019s another major accomplishment in an already-impressive list of accolades for the Pennsylvania native, including his national high school record in the same event.<\/p>\n

Here are five things about Nolan and the history of the 200 IM American record:<\/p>\n

1. Nolan is first to own national high school record and American record in the 200 IM.<\/strong>

\nNolan joins such great swimmers as Mark Spitz, Jeff Kostoff, Kate Zeigler, Abbey Weitzeil and Katie Ledecky as swimmers to own the American record and<\/i> national high school record in the same event. Nolan is the only one to do it with two different swims, as the previously mentioned swimmers set the two records in the same race (for different events). Nolan is likely to own the high school record for many years, and we\u2019ll see what is next for the Stanford senior in three weeks at the NCAA championships.<\/p>\n

2. Lochte had owned the American record for 10 years.<\/strong>

\nRyan Lochte first set the American record in the 200 IM on Feb. 11, 2005 with a 1:41.76. With the exception of a 21-day period in which Michael Phelps owned the record with a 1:41.30 in March 2006, Lochte has enjoyed a monopoly in the event in short course yards. Lochte would lower the record three more times after that 2005 race, from 1:41.71 in March 2005 to 1:40.55 at the 2006 NCAA championships and 1:40.08 in December 2007. It\u2019s not the longest streak of owning a short course American record, but it was an impressive run.<\/p>\n

3. He\u2019s the second swimmer from Stanford to own the 200 IM American record.<\/strong>

\nThe 200 IM has always been a strong event for Stanford. Besides Nolan, seven other Stanford athletes have won a total of nine NCAA titles, but only one of them got the brass ring of an American record. Dick Roth won the 1967 NCAA title with a 1:56.00, which would sadly only last two weeks, when Bill Utley swam a 1:55.90 in early April. The record is now in back on The Farm, and it\u2019s likely that Nolan will be able to hold onto the record for more than two weeks.<\/p>\n

4. Nolan outsplit Lochte on the freestyle leg.<\/strong>
\n

\nWe know Lochte is a great freestyler. He has Olympic medals to prove it. Could David Nolan be on the path to becoming one of the new guard in freestyle in the United States? Back in 2007 when Lochte swam his 1:40.08, he split 24.56. Last night, Nolan did what few can say they did, and beat Lochte on freestyle with a 24.11 split. Nolan was behind Lochte\u2019s pace after backstroke and breaststroke. Perhaps Nolan\u2019s plan was to ease off the gas a bit in the middle 100 yards to save up for a monster freestyle? We\u2019ll see how the race strategy goes in three weeks at NCAAs.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the 27th time the record has been set in March.<\/strong>
\n\"March<\/a>
\nMaybe it should come as no surprise that the short course yards American record in the 200 IM has been broken mostly in March. It\u2019s the end of the collegiate season, where most of the short course yards racing is focused. Postgrads in the past 20 years have had more opportunities to break records, but most of the opportunities happen when college swimmers are rested, and that is often in March. Stunningly, the record was broken three times in one day in 1975, when Scott Brown and Frederick Tyler both broke LeRoy Engstrand\u2019s 1:51.28 in the 200 IM prelims of the NCAA championships. Brown posted a 1:51.02 while Tyler claimed the record with a 1:50.98. Tyler lowered it further in finals with a 1:50.62. In the 21st century, the only times the record wasn\u2019t broken in March were in February 2005 and November 2007 by Lochte.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
