Texas had an optimal day one at the NCAA Division I Men’s Championships last night. \u00a0This morning, the Longhorn’s amazing six A finalists in the 100-yard fly likely clinched Eddie Reese’s 11th career coaching title<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Texas finished the morning with 11 A final and 4 B final spots for a total of 15. \u00a0California, meanwhile, claimed the second most final spots tonight with six A and four B for a total of 10.<\/p>\n

Texas, typically not known as a strong day-one team, pushed itself to a 171-119 lead against California following an impressive first day of competition.<\/p>\n

Florida (108) and Michigan (105) stand third and fourth following day one, while Alabama (79), Southern California (77) and Stanford (75) all are jockeying for fifth.<\/p>\n

Men’s 400 IM<\/strong><\/p>\n
Georgia’s Chase Kalisz is well on his way to a third-straight victory in the 400-yard IM after cruising to the top seed this morning at the NCAA Division I Men’s Championships.<\/p>\n
Kalisz held off a challenge by Texas’ Will Licon with a time of 3:38.99. \u00a0That’s well off Kalisz’ NCAA and American record of 3:34.50 from last year, but was more than enough to pick up the top seed tonight.<\/p>\n
Licon, meanwhile, clocked in with a second-seeded time of 3:39.40. \u00a0That’s a school record by a full second for the Longhorn.<\/p>\n
Georgia’s Gunnar Bentz gave UGA a 1-3 effort this morning with a 3:40.06.<\/p>\n
California had a strong 400 IM with Adam Hinshaw (3:41.58) and Josh Prenot (3:41.73) both making the A final.<\/p>\n

Men’s 100 fly<\/strong><\/p>\n
Texas absolutely unloaded on the rest of the teams with one of the most dominant single events of all time with six A finalists in the 100-yard fly at the NCAA Division I Men’s Championships. It is fitting that this type of butterfly outcome occurred in 1935 as Iowa is the birthplace of the modern day butterfly stroke, created by former Iowa coach David Armbruster.<\/p>\n
Joseph Schooling (45.04), Jack Conger (45.17), Tripp Cooper (45.33), Will Glass (45.40), John Murray (45.89) and Matt Ellis (45.92) treated NCAAs like the Big 12 Championships, claiming the 1-2-3-4-7-8 seeds to guarantee a huge point swing for the Longhorns.<\/p>\n
North Carolina’s Sam Lewis (45.60) and Ohio State’s Matt McHugh (45.82) will join the Longhorns in the finale.<\/p>\n
The best single event team efforts since the NCAA moved to eight lanes in 1985\u00a0are USC’s 1987 and Michigan’s 1994 and 1995 500-yard frees.<\/p>\n
USC had four A finalists with Daniel Jorgensen (4:16.25), Thomas Fahrner (4:16.31), Mike O’Brien (4:17.01) going 1-2-3 with Chris Chalmers taking eighth in 4:21.99. Chris Hansen also took 15th overall in 4:22.50.<\/p>\n
Michigan had four A finalists with Tom Dolan (4:08.75), John Piersma (4:16.06), Chris Rumley (4:17.35) and Owen Von Richter (4:18.34) placing\u00a01-3-4-5\u00a0in the A final with Dolan being the first man under 4:10. \u00a0Thomas Blake, meanwhile, took fourth in the B final with a 4:22.71 for a total of five finalists.<\/p>\n
Michigan also claimed four A finalists and a B finalist in 1994 in the 500-yard free. \u00a0Tom Dolan (4:12.30), John Piersma (4:17.13), Chris Rumley (4:19.11) and Marcel Wouda (4:25.26) placed 2-3-5-8. Rodney Van Tassell took 16th overall in 4:27.46.<\/p>\n
1995 proved to be truly dominant for Michigan as it also claimed four A finalists in the 400-yard IM. \u00a0Tom Dolan (3:38.18), Owen Von Richter (3:44.81), Royce Sharp (3:46.27) and Marcel Wouda (3:46.45) went 1-3-4-5.<\/p>\n
Additionally, Stanford had four A finalists in the 1992 100-yard back. \u00a0Jeff Rouse (46.12), Brian Retterer (46.51), Drew Weatherford (47.80) and Josh Mikesell (48.29) went 1-2-5-7 that year for the Cardinal. Texas had four A finalists in the 2009 200-yard free. \u00a0Dave Walters (1:32.59), Ricky Berens (1:32.74), Michael Klueh (1:34.25) and Peter Jameson (1:34.52) went 2-3-7-8 that year. Auburn also picked up four A final spots in the 50-yard free in 1997. \u00a0Nick Shackell (43.07), Brock Newman (43.23), Scott Tucker (43.35) and Brett Hawke (43.41) went 2-3-5-6 for the Tigers<\/p>\n
