After crushing the 200 free American record to lead off the 800 free relay on Wednesday, Harvard\u2019s Dean Farris<\/strong> was asked about not swimming the 200 free individually, a decision that left a lot of swimming fans, even swimmers, scratching their heads.<\/p>\n

After all, why not do an even that you have done better than anyone in history? It was the stunning moment of the NCAA Championships so far, and it was the very first event.<\/p>\n

Farris answered that watching the 100 back last year, he was eager to try something different and thought it looked \u201cfun.\u201d<\/p>\n

He made it even more fun on Friday as he surged to the NCAA title in the 100 back<\/a>, clocking a 43.66 \u2014 Harvard\u2019s 11th individual title, and first since 1989.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am just really excited,\u201d Farris. \u201cI guess now it looks like the smart move. It was a good race and it worked out.\u201d<\/p>\n

But it wasn\u2019t a decision Farris and his coaches made on a whim.<\/p>\n

\u201cHonestly, it has been the plan since last year,\u201d he said. \u201cThis whole year, I was excited about doing the 100 back.\u201d<\/p>\n

And it wasn\u2019t just about seeing if he could swim it, but seeing if he could win it.<\/p>\n

\u201cPretty much the whole year, I thought I had a shot. I worked backstroke all year,\u201d he said. \u201cI was just kind of done with doing the 200 free. I needed a break this year. The 800 free relay was a good opportunity to swim fast. After nationals this summer, I didn\u2019t train backstroke all summer and I went a 54 in the 100 (meter) back). I wanted to fix my stroke and see what I could do in it. I have had fun just trying to get better at it. It worked out this year.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Harvard\u2019s David Berkoff<\/strong> won the NCAA title in the 100 back in 1987 and 1989, well before Farris was born. But he was aware of the history in the event.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was definitely on my mind. I remember watching a video of his swim and he was at Austin when he did it,\u201d Farris said. \u201cI watched it at the beginning of the year. That solidified the fact that I should do it. I had a couple of thoughts today about it, but I tried to push them out and not put any pressure on myself.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now, having another national champion has helped Harvard\u2019s reputation in the pool growing. And it is not just Farris, though he is clearly the ringleader.<\/p>\n

Going into the final day Harvard has 98 points and sits in eighth place,<\/a> a huge feat for a non-Power 5 conference.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I committed to Harvard, the goal was definitely to make Harvard into a top 10 team,\u201d he said. \u201cMy first year, we had a couple of finals, last year we were 18th<\/sup> and this year, when they show the scores, they don\u2019t even have to scroll \u2014\u00a0Harvard is right there. It is pretty cool.\u201d<\/p>\n

Farris saw this transformation coming, just like he saw his event transformation coming.<\/p>\n

So while everyone was wondering why Farris decided to do an event more difficult to win, he went out and won it anyway. Farris knew he had just as good of a shot at winning the 100 back, and it turns out, the chance was even better, giving Farris his second stunning moment of the meet \u2014 and we still have one night to go.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
