Marchand vs. Foster: World-Class Rematch Among Most-Anticipated Men\u2019s Races for College Season<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rarely does an NCAA Championships feature the consensus two best swimmers in the world in their respective event, but that will be the case for the 2022-23 season as Leon<\/strong> Marchand<\/strong>, the Frenchman who won world titles in the 200 and 400-meter IM this year<\/a>, is a sophomore at Arizona State University<\/a> while Carson<\/strong> Foster<\/strong>, the silver medalist in both of those races, enters his junior season at the University of Texas. The Sun Devils and Longhorns are not slated to face each other in a dual meet or invitational this season, but every swim by either swimmer will be a precursor to the much-anticipated March showdown at the NCAA Championships in Minneapolis.<\/p>\n

The 2022 NCAA meet was the first sign of a world-level breakout looming for Marchand. In the 200-yard IM final, he blew away the field on the breaststroke leg and powered to a mark of 1:37.69, the fastest time in history by almost a half-second<\/a> (breaking a mark previously held by Caeleb<\/strong> Dressel<\/strong>). The next day, Marchand finished second in the 400 IM in 3:34.08, and he added a second individual NCAA title in the 200 breaststroke, coming from behind to outduel Max<\/strong> McHugh<\/strong><\/a>. His 1:48.20 in the breaststroke was just three tenths off Will Licon\u2019s all-time record.<\/p>\n

Foster, meanwhile, has never put together a performance matching his capabilities at the NCAA Championships. Last year, he fell to a surprising sixth in the 200 IM (2.5 seconds behind Marchand), and after he swam his best time in the 400 IM prelims (3:33.79), he was two seconds slower in the final, completely gassed from his morning swim. Foster later called the mistake \u201can immaturity thing. I did that completely on purpose.\u201d He added, \u201cMy emotions kind of got the best of me that day.\u201d<\/p>\n

But when Marchand and Foster met again two-and-a-half months later across the world in Budapest, Foster did not leave with the same sense of disappointment and underperformance. He had recorded the best swims of his life at his first long course World Championships while racing against a truly elite force<\/a> in Marchand.<\/p>\n

In the 400 IM Worlds final, Marchand flirted with Michael Phelps\u2019<\/strong> world record on his way to a time of 4:04.28<\/a>, the second-quickest mark ever recorded, and while Foster was left in his wake, he still posted a time of 4:06.56, a best time by two seconds and good enough to make him the eighth-fastest performer in history. Four days later, Foster was closing the gap on Marchand down the stretch in the 200 IM final, and he ended up just a half-second behind, 1:55.24 to 1:55.71<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The next matchup between the two will come on the college level, with points for their respective squads at a premium. The records \u2014 Marchand\u2019s 200 IM mark and Hugo Gonzalez\u2019s<\/strong> 3:32.88 in the 400 IM<\/a> \u2014 will surely be threatened. Those races are a full five months away, but until then, we will follow their every move, trying to make sense of both swimmers\u2019 form in advance of the next showdown in a budding rivalry.<\/p>\n

This college season, Marchand vs. Foster will be the show-stopper, but plenty of other already-intriguing showdowns await at the end of this season. We previewed the top women\u2019s races last week, and here\u2019s what else to keep an eye on for the men.<\/p>\n

\n

500 Freestyle<\/strong><\/h3>\n

An epic four-way race at last year\u2019s NCAA Championships saw early leader Kieran<\/strong> Smith<\/strong> fall off the pace with 150 yards to go while Georgia swimmers Matt Sates<\/strong> and Jake Magahey<\/strong> surged to the front to produce a 1-2 finish for the Bulldogs. Sates left college swimming after one semester, and Smith has also turned pro, but this year\u2019s race will bring back Magahey, the 2021 champion in the event, along with third-place finisher Luke<\/strong> Hobson<\/strong>. Magahey ranks seventh all-time in the event at 4:06.71, and Hobson is tied for seventh at 4:08.42.<\/p>\n

Both men are coming off excellent summer seasons. Hobson, a sophomore at Texas, was the U.S. national-title winner in the 200-meter free, while Magahey held off Jake Mitchell<\/strong> to win the national title in the 400-meter race<\/a>. A resurgent Mitchell, who was a 2021 Olympic finalist in the 400 free, has the skills to vault his way into the mix in this event, and Florida\u2019s Trey Freeman<\/strong> and NC State\u2019s Ross<\/strong> Dant<\/strong> are also among the best 400 freestylers in the country, with Freeman placing second at the International Team Trials in April and Dant ending up third. Florida\u2019s Alfonso<\/strong> Mestre<\/strong>, Stanford\u2019s Preston Forst<\/strong> and Texas\u2019 David Johnston<\/strong> also potential spoilers here.<\/p>\n

A great strategic race in the 500 free is a treat for swimming nerds as competitors utilize different strategies, pushing themselves from the start, building throughout the race or waiting for a particular point to make a move. It would be no surprise to see more lead changes as the eventual NCAA final unfolds. But in the meantime, let\u2019s see who can record some elite times, particularly during the flurry of midseason invitationals, and put themselves in contention for March.<\/p>\n

\n

200 Freestyle<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The 200 free also loses some talent from last season with national champion Drew Kibler having moved on from college swimming along with Smith and Sates, but a high-octane final is already in the works. The two most aggressive swimmers in the field last year will both be back: Arizona State\u2019s Grant House<\/strong> and LSU\u2019s Brooks<\/strong> Curry<\/strong>. Curry, better known for his sprint skills, was the NCAA champion in the 50 and 100 free before representing the U.S. individually at Worlds, and he has enough endurance to hold on for a 200-yard race in short course.<\/p>\n

House showed significant growth in his swimming career last year as he swam the nation\u2019s quickest 200 free all season with a 1:30.13 at the Pac-12 Championships, and he placed second behind Kibler at NCAAs. He missed out on a chance to qualify for the World Championships when he was 10th in prelims at the International Team Trials, but he would go on to swim 1:46s in the 200-meter free on multiple occasions over the summer.<\/p>\n

Speaking of 1:46-level long course swimmers, six of those men are currently swimming for a college team but did not qualify for the A-final at NCAAs last year. Coby Carrozza<\/strong> and Freeman both qualified for Worlds in the 200 free, while Hobson was the U.S. national champion in the event in late July with a quick time of 1:46.14<\/a>. Mitchell, Magahey and Jack<\/strong> Dahlgren<\/strong> also swam under 1:47 in the final at Nationals. Can any of those guys get more speed in the yards version of the race to reach 1:30-territory?<\/p>\n

\n

200 Butterfly<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In yet another event, elite talent departs, but plenty remains. Louisville\u2019s Nick Albiero<\/strong> and Cal\u2019s Trenton Julian<\/strong> both took fifth years last season, but they ended up third and fourth, respectively, in an extremely tight 200 fly NCAA final. The winner of that event was Indiana\u2019s Brendan Burns<\/strong> in 1:38.71, with Georgia\u2019s Luca Urlando<\/strong> just behind in 1:38.80. These two swimmers, who each rely on stellar underwater dolphin kick skills, will be favored again this year, but two potential spoilers loom.<\/p>\n

First, Cal\u2019s Gabriel<\/strong> Jett<\/strong>, a sophomore who annihilated his best time in the 200-meter fly this summer as he got down to a 1:54.37 in winning at U.S. Nationals<\/a>. Jett\u2019s rapid improvement during his time at Cal helped him finish sixth at last year\u2019s NCAAs, just a second-and-a-half behind Burns\u2019 winning mark, and another leap was obvious in his late-summer performances.<\/p>\n

The other possible threat here is Foster, who swam the 200 back at NCAAs last year but might be tempted to give the 200 fly a shot after his 1:53.67 in the 200-meter fly this summer made him the third-fastest American ever<\/a>. Keep an eye on Foster\u2019s times in the 200 fly and 200 back throughout the season to see which lineup makes the most sense for Texas.<\/p>\n

\n

Cal and Texas<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Stop me if you\u2019ve heard this before: the California Golden Bears<\/a> and Texas Longhorns<\/a> should battle for the men\u2019s national title. Those two teams have been ranked No. 1 and No. 2 in some order at the end of the season every year since 2014 and every year but one since 2010 (in 2013, when Cal finished second and Texas third behind champion Michigan). With Cal coach Dave Durden<\/strong> and Texas coach Eddie Reese<\/strong> continuing to produce the best swimmers in the country, is there any serious doubt about another Bears-Longhorns battle this year?<\/p>\n

In December 2021, it looked like the 2022 NCAA meet would be a Texas runaway, particularly after the Longhorns crushed Cal at the mid-season Minnesota Invitational. But Cal showed steady improvement throughout the second-half and ended up turning the tables in March. This time around, who will be on top: a Texas team featuring Foster, Hobson and Caspar<\/strong> Corbeau<\/strong> or Cal\u2019s group led by Jett, Bjorn Seeliger<\/strong> and Destin<\/strong> Lasco<\/strong>?<\/p>\n

We will get a sense as the two teams work their way through their respective schedules, but it\u2019s worth noting that Cal and Texas are scheduled to meet once again in early December in Minneapolis, a potential national-championship preview in the same pool slated for hosting duties in March.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
