By David Rieder.<\/em><\/p>\n

The prototypical college swimming ace might be a sprinter or mid-distance who can pick up big points in stroke events and be a huge factor across the board on relays. So a 400 IM specialist like\u00a0Chase Kalisz\u00a0<\/strong>does not exactly fit the bill.<\/p>\n

Joseph Schooling<\/strong> and Jack Conger <\/strong>each fit that model perfectly,\u00a0butterfly aces who are plenty dangerous in any freestyle event from the 50 to the 200, and that duo has fueled Texas’ dominance of the NCAA championships over the past two seasons. The Longhorns memorably put six men into the 100 fly championship final at the 2015 meet, and many of those same swimmers (including Matt Ellis\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0John Murray<\/strong>) helped\u00a0fuel Texas\u2019 wins in the 200 free and 400 medley relays at that same meet.<\/p>\n

Similarly, it was sprint depth and versatility that carried Cal to NCAA titles in 2011, 2012 and 2014. Tom Shields<\/strong>, Seth<\/strong> Stubblefield<\/strong>, Will Hamilton<\/strong> and Josh Prenot<\/strong> were among those that put up big points across a wide variety of events during that stretch. Now, Cal’s ace would be\u00a0Ryan Murphy<\/strong>, who, in addition to his backstroke exploits, can place in the top three nationally in the 200 IM and throw down some quick splits on free relays.<\/p>\n

The Georgia men don\u2019t have three sprinters right around the 19-second barrier or a threat for an individual title\u2014or even top-eight nationally\u2014in each of the 100-yard events. What the Bulldogs do possess is the top trio of 400 IMers in the country.<\/p>\n

Of course it would be Georgia that was loaded with 400 IM specialists. After all, this is the same school that has produced 1500 free NCAA champions Sebastien<\/strong> Rouault<\/strong>, Troy Prinsloo<\/strong> and Martin Grodski<\/strong>, 200 fly titlists Gil Stovall<\/strong> and Mark Dylla<\/strong> and 400 IM winners Robert Margalis<\/strong> and Kalisz.<\/p>\n

Kalisz was the NCAA champion in the 400 IM in 2013 and 2014, when he set an American record of 3:34.50 in the event. After a down NCAA championships in 2015, Kalisz chose to take a redshirt year to prepare for Olympic Trials and the Olympics, meets to be held in his much-preferred long course.<\/p>\n

\u201cShort course doesn\u2019t really make much sense,\u201d he said. \u201cI think it\u2019s more me getting stronger and working on the technical aspects where I don\u2019t really have to do that long course. I get into my stroke much more easily, or I have another 25 meters to figure it out. It\u2019s just more naturally what I\u2019m better at, and short course is more of a challenge.\u201d<\/p>\n

Back in Athens for his senior season, Kalisz competed in four races during Saturday night\u2019s finals at the Georgia Fall Invite. First, he handled breaststroke duties on\u00a0the Bulldogs\u2019 200 medley relay, and minutes later, he posted a 3:36.98 in the 400 IM, by far the fastest time in the country, but still one that left the Olympic silver medalist not fully satisfied.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think the time was fine. I swam it terrible,\u201d he said afterwards. \u201cI think doing the 200 medley relay didn\u2019t necessarily take any energy out of me\u2014I don\u2019t really know how to sprint. I kind of got into my fly swimming the same way as I did on that relay and never really regained my ground. Swimming a good 400 IM, it needs to be strong, and I didn\u2019t feel like it was at all. I think there were a few seconds left to be had there if I swam it right there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kalisz, as he often does, built a substantial lead on the breaststroke leg, but he had a bit of a challenge on the freestyle as Jay Litherland<\/strong> was closing in. Litherland, who had swum the anchor leg of the 200 medley relay 15 minutes earlier, posted a stunning 49.02 freestyle split to finish with a time of 3:38.19, his lifetime best and the no. 2 time in the country this season.<\/p>\n

And then coming in fourth in that race was Gunnar Bentz<\/strong>, who finished third in the event at the NCAAs as a freshman two seasons ago. Bentz held down the fly leg of Georgia\u2019s 200 medley relay before posting a 3:42.89 in the 400 IM.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wanted them to swim the 400 IM when they didn\u2019t feel perfect,\u201d Georgia head coach Jack Bauerle<\/strong> explained. \u201cSo when it\u2019s fresh they\u2019ll feel a lot better.\u201d<\/p>\n

Seems reasonable, and the Bulldogs seem poised to put on a show in the 400 IM come the NCAA championships in Indianapolis.<\/p>\n

But what about that 200 medley relay? Not quite as successful, as Taylor Dale<\/strong> and the trio of IMers combined to post a time of 1:27.17, good for ninth place overall\u2014and behind the \u201cB\u201d teams from Auburn, Cal and Michigan.<\/p>\n

\u201cNothing happened because we went really slow,\u201d Kalisz said. \u201cI think everyone raced hard, but there\u2019s not much me, Jay and Gunnar can do speed-wise. We\u2019re kind of limited in our abilities there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Plenty of championship 200 medley relays at the collegiate level have loaded up with 50 freestylers who can power off the walls and fake their way through 30 yards of actually swimming another stroke. How about success rate of a 200 medley relay loaded with 400 IM specialists who all perform better in long course than short course?<\/p>\n

Sure, Georgia\u2019s women almost pulled off something similar a year ago, when IMer Emily Cameron<\/strong> handled breaststroke duties and versatile Meaghan Raab<\/strong> anchored as the Bulldogs finished seventh in the event at the NCAA championships. Thankfully, Georgia\u2019s men have some more options.<\/p>\n

For instance, the Bulldogs\u2019 400 medley relay Friday evening featured Pace Clark<\/strong> on the fly leg and Javier Acevedo<\/strong> anchoring. Both missed\u00a0the remainder of the meet but with very legitimate excuses\u2014they left town Saturday to fly up to Windsor for the Short Course World Championships, Clark to represent the U.S. and Acevedo Canada.<\/p>\n

Acevedo has been a high-impact freshman so far for Georgia, coming in straight from the Rio Olympics, where he finished 17th in the 100 back. Already, he\u2019s their best sprinter\u2014he anchored that 400 medley relay in 41.92, faster than any Bulldog split in a 100 free at last season\u2019s NCAA championships.<\/p>\n

But Kalisz still figures to remain an integral part of those medley relays all season as Georgia\u2019s top breaststroker, but the event lineup at the NCAA meet now places the 200 medley relay at the end of the Friday night session. With the 400 IM first, Kalisz will have a shot to lower his already-impressive American record in that event\u2014and will likely be favored to do so\u2014before he heads back into the water for the relay.<\/p>\n

As impressive as Kalisz has been throughout the past several years in long course waters, it\u2019s actually his increased strength and versatility\u2014really, adapting to short course swimming that makes him more valuable than ever for Georgia.<\/p>\n

In addition to the 400 IM, Kalisz also won the 200 IM, 100 breast and 200 fly at the Georgia Invite this weekend. His 200 IM time of 1:41.26 ranks tops in the country, and his 1:40.38 in the 200 fly ranks second, just barely behind Jack Conger.<\/p>\n

Georgia finished an impressive fifth at the NCAA championships last season, but this year\u2019s Bulldogs might be able to go further\u2014that is, as far as their star redshirt senior takes them.<\/p>\n
