By Jason Tillotson, Swimming World College Intern. <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

This past week has kept us all on the edge of our seats. Each day was jam-packed with insanely fast conference meets and record breaking swims. From Caeleb Dressel<\/strong> throwing down the fastest 50 and 100 freestyle relay splits of all time, to Lilly King<\/strong>\u2019s 100 breaststroke dominance, we were all kept busy.<\/p>\n

However, there were some swims that may have missed the spotlight. With all the exciting action, it is hard to keep up with everything and everyone. Nevertheless, you have to give credit where credit is due.<\/p>\n

Here are five swims from this\u00a0week that might have been directly in the spotlight.<\/p>\n

1. Ohio State\u2019s Li Zhesi – 21.48 50 freestyle<\/h2>\n

We are used to seeing the likes of Olivia Smoliga<\/strong> and Abbigail Weitzeil<\/strong> throw down some seriously fast in-season times. Perhaps what is more impressive is\u00a0Li’s ability to tie her time from last year\u2019s NCAA\u2019s at her Big-10 Championship meet. Not known for her quick non-tapered\u00a0times, Li\u00a0showed she is ready to take on the rest of the nation at this year\u2019s NCAA championship.<\/p>\n

2. South Carolina\u2019s Fynn Minuth – 4:11.07 500 freestyle<\/h2>\n

The men\u2019s and women\u2019s SEC conference meet is always fast, and this year was no exception. It isn\u2019t unusual to see a 4:11 (or even faster) 500 freestyle at this time of year, in fact it\u2019s pretty common. However, Minuth wasn\u2019t necessarily the favorite to win this one and upsetting Florida\u2019s Mitch D\u2019Arrigo<\/strong> isn\u2019t an easy feat. So, he earns his spot on this list. Also, Minuth\u2019s best time before SEC\u2019s was 4:19.30 from the Georgia Tech invite this fall and before 2016 he had never broken 4:30 in the 500. Needless to say, Minuth is on the rise and has some serious NCAA scoring potential.<\/p>\n

3. NC State\u2019s Alexia Zevnik – 50.80 100 backstroke<\/h2>\n

At the Women’s ACC championships, Zevnik posted the nation\u2019s fastest time in this event, less than a second away from Natalie Coughlin<\/strong>\u2019s long-standing NCAA, American and U.S. Open records and\u00a0going a best time in the process. She was also able to essentially duplicate that time, later that night during the 400 medley relay. Her 50.81 lead-off leg was head and shoulders ahead of the field and undoubtedly secured her name as a force to be reckoned with this March.<\/p>\n

4. Stanford\u2019s True Sweetser – 9:00.25 1000 freestyle<\/h2>\n

The Cal-Stanford duel meet was filled with fast in-season swims, as well. The fact that this swim was not produced at a conference championship is what makes it understandable that it was not in the spotlight, but it is also what makes it more impressive. Almost cracking nine-minutes at a duel meet is not an easy task by any means, especially given the the fact that he was ahead of the field by almost ten seconds. This swim, combined with his 4:12, 8:49 and 14:35 in the 500, 1000 and 1650 freestyles, respectively, this season shows that Sweetser is ready to go for Pac-12\u2019s and NCAA\u2019s.<\/p>\n

5. Loyola Maryland\u2019s Ben Cono – 52.83 100 breaststroke<\/h2>\n

There are few mid-major programs that send swimmers to the NCAA meet. Last year, Loyola was one of those few programs and Cono was their sole representative. With his lifetime best time of 52.83 from this past weekend at the Patriot League championships, it is likely he will get invited to NCAA meet yet again. Cono has proved his ability to hang with the top-tier Division I programs, time and time again. This swim was just another clear example of that.<\/p>\n
