Morning Splash<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0by David Rieder.<\/em><\/p>\n

For the victors, the meet meant everything, a previously-downtrodden program knocking off the gold standard. For the losers, it was just another lump in a season full of them\u2014with the hope that all the lumps are meaningless in the end.<\/p>\n

In the photo above, Arizona State freshman Grant House<\/strong> is celebrating his win in the men\u2019s 200 free in the Sun Devils\u2019 dual meet against Texas. In third place at the halfway point, House had turned on the burners on the third 50 and stormed home for his team\u2019s third win in the first three men\u2019s events. Fellow Sun Devil Cameron Craig<\/strong> took second.<\/p>\n

The tone was set, and the Sun Devils would not back down from there. Craig, last year\u2019s breakout freshman star for ASU, won the 100 free in a stellar 42.97, and at the end of the meet, with the victory not yet secured, he led off the 200 free relay in 19.65, six tenths faster than Olympic gold medalist Joseph Schooling<\/strong> one lane over.<\/p>\n

Friday afternoon in Tempe, Ariz.,\u00a0that duo helped spark\u00a0an Arizona State victory, 162 to 138<\/a>.<\/p>\n

After the meet, ASU head coach Bob Bowman<\/strong> considered the question: Was this his team\u2019s biggest win in his three seasons at the helm?<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah,\u201d Bowman said softly. \u201cYeah.\u201d<\/p>\n

Earlier in the year, the Sun Devils pushed USC, the sixth-place team at last year\u2019s NCAA championships, to the limit, only to fall six points short. And then one week before the Texas meet, the Sun Devils were competitive in dual meet losses at Cal and then at Stanford.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think we gained some confidence last week at Cal and Stanford,\u201d Bowman said. \u201cI thought we raced really well against those teams. We won a lot of events against Stanford, even though we didn\u2019t have great depth against them. And even against Cal, we swam really credible times. When we came out of there, I felt like, if we stayed positive and kept moving forward, we\u2019d be in a good place.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yes, a very good place. Just three weeks after a disheartening home loss to Harvard.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe stepped down in every event that day,\u201d Bowman said. \u201cToday we stepped up in pretty much every event.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now, look back at that photo of House celebrating. Holding onto the wall behind him is an out-of-breath Townley<\/strong> Haas<\/strong>, the Texas junior who has swum the 200-yard free faster than anyone else in history. But in this race, Haas finished third in 1:38.32\u2014yes, almost eight seconds off his best time.<\/p>\n

Haas had been very much in the mix at the halfway point of the race, but his stroke fell apart after that, his tempo and length diminished. He simply looked uncomfortable. House ended up out-splitting Haas by two-and-a-half seconds over the back half of the race.<\/p>\n

But the struggles are nothing new. In seven Texas dual meets so far this season, Haas has raced the 200 free seven times, and he has been under 1:38 exactly twice\u2014in back-to-back meets against NC State and North Carolina back in November.<\/p>\n

In those seven dual meets, the Longhorns have won twice\u2014against North Carolina and Auburn. The losses have come to Florida, Indiana, Texas A&M, NC State and now ASU.<\/p>\n

Yes, the same team that has won the past three men’s NCAA swimming titles, all in blowout fashion, has a 2-5 dual meet record. And that can\u2019t be chalked up to Texas\u2019 big personnel losses (Jack<\/strong> Conger<\/strong>, Will Licon<\/strong> and Clark Smith<\/strong> all graduated) or to the team\u2019s deficiencies in certain events, like breaststroke.<\/p>\n

No, this is just a team that looks tired. Eddie<\/strong> Reese<\/strong>, the legendary Texas head coach with 13 NCAA titles under his belt, chalked it all up to the intense workload he had given to his team\u2014more difficult than even his usual standard.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve all trained harder, we\u2019ve done more in the weight room, and it\u2019s evident,\u201d Reese said. \u201cWe\u2019re swimming worse than you would like someone to swim. I just got to get them out of the weight room, got to get them off pullies.\u201d<\/p>\n

As Reese sat under a massive tent at the Mona Plummer Aquatic Center late Friday afternoon, he was introspective, thinking about how he was going to get his team, still chock-full of champions, back to their peak form. They had done their part, he insisted\u2014three days earlier, Reese said, Haas had completed a set of 16 x 50 free, \u201cand he was 22-plus, 23-lows from a push on all of them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sure, it\u2019s weird to see Texas get beat in a dual meet, but since when does anything matter to Reese\u2019s team besides swimming fast when it matters at the NCAA championships? Reese has gotten his teams to perform at that meet year after year, and every one of his swimmers has full trust that the coach will come through for them once again.<\/p>\n

Given recent history, who are we to doubt that trust?<\/p>\n

So for the Sun Devil men, the meet was a massive win, possibly the biggest in program history. For Texas, it was just another meet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
