Just five years ago, a sub-1:50 200 breast seemed impossible. Now, it is just another swim. Texas senior Will Licon<\/strong>\u00a0smashed his American Record with a 1:47.91, breaking the record he set last year at 1:48.12. Licon won his third straight 200 breast NCAA title and was not touched in the race tonight. Alabama’s Anton McKee<\/strong> finished second at 1:51.22, good for eighth all-time. Mauro Castillo<\/strong> of Texas A&M finished third at 1:52.09.<\/p>\n

Virginia Tech’s Brandon Fiala<\/strong>, Louisville’s Carlos Claverie<\/strong>, South Carolina’s Nils Wich-Glasen<\/strong>, Purdue’s Marat Amaltdinov<\/strong> and Notre Dame’s Trent Jackson<\/strong> also competed in the A-Final.<\/p>\n

Licon is the first to win three straight 200 breast titles since Texas’ Brendan Hansen<\/strong> won four straight from 2001-2004. Texas now has nine 200 breast titles. Licon joins himself (2015, 2016), Hansen (2001-2004), Eric Friedland<\/strong> (2011) and Kirk Stackle<\/strong> (1988) as winners for the Longhorns.<\/p>\n
