After a few nervous moments, the results were confirmed, and Licon got to keep lane four for the final\u2014and Jonathan Roberts finished eighth for the Longhorns, turning a potential disaster into a two-up situation.<\/p>\n<p>Cal\u2019s moment for concern came at the tail end of the session in the 400 medley relay. Head coach <strong>Dave Durden<\/strong> made the call to leave off Olympic gold medalist backstroker <strong>Ryan<\/strong> <strong>Murphy<\/strong>, and the decision almost backfired big-time when freshman <strong>Zheng Quah<\/strong> led off in 46.25.<\/p>\n<p>The Bears ended up finishing in 3:04.95, the ninth-fastest time of the morning and five one-hundredths behind Stanford for what looked like the last spot in the championship final.<\/p>\n<p>But Alabama, which had apparently qualified sixth out of prelims, was DQed for a turn infraction from butterflyer Luke Kaliszak, and the Bears safely moved on.<\/p>\n<p>NC State, currently the leader in the team race after an impressive victory in the 800 free relay, put <strong>Anton<\/strong> <strong>Ipsen<\/strong>, <strong>Andreas Vazaios<\/strong> and <strong>Ryan Held<\/strong> into championship finals, and the Wolfpack 200 free relay goes into the evening seeded third, but the 400 medley relay did not earn a spot in the A-final.<\/p>\n<p>Cause for panic for the Wolfpack? Not really, since the coaches picked that relay to be the one that Vazaios and Held sat out. But squeaking into the top heat would have made Braden Holloway and co. feel much more comfortable heading into the evening.<\/p>\n<p>Along with Cal and Texas, Florida, Indiana and Missouri all finished with both relays in A-finals. Blake Pieroni, fresh off his 1:30.87 200 free leading off the 800 free relay, keyed both Hoosier relays into the top heats, and Florida\u2019s Caeleb Dressel led his team with splits of 17.99 and 40.56\u2014seemingly routine for him at this point.<\/p>\n<p>Missouri only had one individual make it back for finals (<strong>Michael Chadwick<\/strong> in the top heat of the 50 free), but getting two relays up was a big step for a program looking to match or surpass last year\u2019s eighth-place finish in the team competition.<\/p>\n<p>After sneaking into the 200 free relay final in seventh, freshman Daniel Hein joined seniors <strong>Fabien<\/strong> <strong>Schwingenschlogl<\/strong>, <strong>Andrew Sansoucie<\/strong> and Chadwick to post the top qualifying time in the 400 medley relay. The Tigers\u2019 time of 3:02.53 easily surpassed second-place Texas\u2019 time of 3:03.45.<\/p>\n<p>Is a national title in reach? Possibly, but it won\u2019t come easily. Texas has plenty of room to drop after Joseph Schooling split 45.41, pedestrian by his standards, and Cal will add Murphy and possibly replace butterflyer <strong>Justin Lynch<\/strong> with <strong>Matthew Josa<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of programs with banner morning performances, South Carolina put three swimmers into the top-16 in the 500 free, including top seed <strong>Fynn<\/strong> <strong>Minuth<\/strong>, second seed <strong>Akaram Mahmoud<\/strong> and 16th seed <strong>Tom<\/strong> <strong>Peribonio<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Minuth and Mahmoud will certainly have their challenges in hanging on to the top spot\u2014such as the two most recent NCAA champions in the event, <strong>Clark Smith<\/strong> and <strong>Townley<\/strong> <strong>Haas<\/strong>\u2014but the Gamecocks are now projected for 38 points during that one finals session, more than double their psych sheet projection of 18.<\/p>\n<p>For a program only seeded to score 57 total at the meet, that bump could push South Carolina towards a potential top-15 finish, although there remains much work to be done over the next two days.<\/p>\n<p>Other teams with multiple A-finalists include Florida (<strong>Mark Szaranek<\/strong> in the 500 free and Dressel in the 50 free), Michigan (<strong>Felix Auboeck<\/strong> in the 500 free and <strong>Paul Powers<\/strong> in the 50 free) and Georgia (<strong>Gunnar Bentz<\/strong> and <strong>Chase<\/strong> <strong>Kalisz<\/strong>, both in the 200 IM).<\/p>\n<p>Read below for a full list of ups and downs from the prelims session.
