Meanwhile, Texas’\u00a0Townley Haas\u00a0<\/strong>swam the second-fastest time ever in the 500 free as the four-time defending champion Longhorns remain in second place. Cal currently sits at 212 points, 24 ahead of Texas (188). Rounding out the top five are Indiana (155), NC State (136) and Florida (76).<\/p>\n

500 Free<\/strong><\/h3>\n
Going for his third straight NCAA title in the 500 free, Texas senior\u00a0Townley Haas\u00a0<\/strong>took the race out at a never-before-seen pace, splitting 1:35.69 at the 200 and almost swimming the first half in under 2:00. At one point, Haas was nearly three seconds under pace for the American record, which belongs to\u00a0Zane Grothe\u00a0<\/strong>at 4:07.25.<\/p>\n
Haas was still under record-pace at the 450, only to fade slightly on the last 50. He finished in 4:08.19, breaking\u00a0Clark Smith’s\u00a0<\/strong>NCAA record of 4:08.42 set in 2017. Haas’ performance made him the second-fastest swimmer in history.<\/p>\n
In Haas’ wake for much of the race, Cal’s Sean Grieshop\u00a0<\/strong>ended up putting up a stellar swim for second, with a time of 4:10.29. Arizona’s\u00a0Brooks Fail\u00a0<\/strong>finished third in 4:10.77.<\/p>\n
Michigan’s\u00a0Ricardo Vargas Jacobo<\/strong> finished fourth in 4:12.21, ahead of Georgia’s\u00a0Walker Higgins\u00a0<\/strong>(4:12.65) and South Carolina’s\u00a0Fynn Minuth\u00a0<\/strong>(4:12.72). Also in the A-final were Texas A&M’s\u00a0Mark Theall\u00a0<\/strong>(4:16.05) and Harvard’s\u00a0Brennan Novak\u00a0<\/strong>(4:21.72).<\/p>\n
In the B-final, Cal’s\u00a0Trenton Julian\u00a0<\/strong>crushed the field with an impressive time of 4:11.30, better than all but the top three in the A-final.<\/p>\n

200 IM<\/strong><\/h3>\n
Cal’s\u00a0Andrew Seliskar\u00a0<\/strong>entered his senior year NCAA championships as arguably the best swimmer to have never won an individual NCAA title. No longer. Seliskar threw down a massive effort in the 200 IM, and in the process, he posted the second-fastest time in history.<\/p>\n
NC State’s\u00a0Andreas Vazaios\u00a0<\/strong>held a slight lead after backstroke, but Seliskar took over with a massive breaststroke leg, and he came home in 24.05, eight tenths faster than anyone else in the field. Slightly under American, NCAA and U.S. Open record pace after 150 yards, Seliskar ended up finishing in 1:38.14, just one hundredth off\u00a0Caeleb Dressel’s\u00a0<\/strong>record of 1:38.13 set at the 2018 SEC championships. Few had expected Dressel’s record to be touched for years, but Seliskar very nearly took it down.<\/p>\n
Seliskar also broke the meet record, a 1:39.38 set by\u00a0David Nolan <\/strong>in 2015.<\/p>\n
Vazaios ended up finishing second in 1:39.35, vaulting him into third all-time behind Dressel and Seliskar, just ahead of former American record-holder Nolan. Texas’\u00a0John Shebat\u00a0<\/strong>finished third in 1:39.63, good for sixth all-time behind the aforementioned quartet and Jan Switkowski<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
Indiana’s\u00a0Vini Lanza\u00a0<\/strong>finished fourth in 1:40.33, and Stanford’s\u00a0Abrahm DeVine\u00a0<\/strong>took fifth in 1:40.77. The A-final also included Georgia Tech’s\u00a0Caio Pumputis\u00a0<\/strong>(1:41.04), Indiana’s\u00a0Ian Finnerty\u00a0<\/strong>(1:42.84) and Florida’s Kieran Smith\u00a0<\/strong>(1:44.23).<\/p>\n
