A full day had plenty of fast races and even a little bit of drama at the 2019 NCAA Division I Men’s Swimming and Diving Championships in Austin, Texas, on Friday morning.<\/p>\n

Top seeds for the evening action include\u00a0Abrahm DeVine\u00a0<\/strong>(400 IM),\u00a0Vini Lanza\u00a0<\/strong>(100 fly),\u00a0Andrew Seliskar\u00a0<\/strong>(200 free), Max McHugh <\/strong>(100 breast) and\u00a0Coleman Stewart\u00a0<\/strong>(100 back). Seliskar will face off with a deep field including three-time defending champion\u00a0Townley Haas <\/strong>in the 200 free with\u00a0Dean Farris’\u00a0<\/strong>new American record (1:29.15) on their minds, while Stewart and Farris headline a fast 100 back.<\/p>\n

But the biggest story was Cal’s Daniel Carr <\/strong>who made the 100 back A-final after he moved up from 17th to fourth in a re-swim<\/a>.<\/p>\n

During the Friday morning prelims session at the men’s NCAA swimming championships in Austin, Texas, the California Golden Bears continued their dominance and push towards an NCAA title — which would be their first since 2014 — while NC State’s\u00a0Coleman Stewart\u00a0<\/strong>and Harvard’s\u00a0Dean Farris\u00a0<\/strong>posted all-time top-four times in the 100 back, and Minnesota freshman\u00a0Max McHugh\u00a0<\/strong>put up a monster 50.30 in the 100 breast.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, incredible depth in the men’s 200 free meant that 16 men swam faster than what it took to qualify for the championship final at last year’s NCAAs.<\/p>\n

Cal placed eight swimmers qualified for individual A-finals, followed by Texas with five and Indiana with four. Cal initially had seven in the top heat, only to get one more when\u00a0Daniel Carr\u00a0<\/strong>blasted 44.86 in a 100 back re-swim<\/a> to move up from 17th to fourth.<\/p>\n

Louisville qualified three A-finalists, while NC State, Florida, Arizona, Georgia and Missouri all had multiple A-finalists. Check out the full ups and downs for individual events.<\/p>\n
