Leading off the Volunteers&#8217; 200 freestyle relay, Crooks touched in 18.27 to knock a quarter-second off his previous best time of 18.53 from last year&#8217;s SEC Championships. Crooks moved from sixth all-time in the event all the way up to second and into a tie with Cal&#8217;s\u00a0<strong>Bjorn Seeliger<\/strong>. Only superstar\u00a0<strong>Caeleb Dressel<\/strong>, who swam as fast as 17.63 at the 2018 NCAA Championships, has ever surpassed that mark.<\/p>\n<p>At last year&#8217;s NCAA Championships, Crooks tied for third in an extremely tight race in which the top five finishers were all within a tenth.\u00a0<strong>Brooks Curry<\/strong> was the winner of that event in 18.56, followed by Seeliger (18.59) and then Crooks tied with Virginia&#8217;s\u00a0<strong>Matt Brownstead\u00a0<\/strong>at 18.60, with\u00a0<strong>Nyls Korstanje<\/strong> fifth (18.66).<\/p>\n<p>But now, it&#8217;s Crooks <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/growing-in-confidence-jordan-crooks-building-on-fabulous-freshman-season\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">clearly setting the pace in the event<\/a>. Many of his top rivals are in action this weekend, but none swam within a half-second off this 18.27. At the Georgia Invitational, Florida&#8217;s <strong>Josh Liendo<\/strong> went 18.84, and a few hundred miles east in Greensboro, N.C., NC State&#8217;s\u00a0<strong>David Curtiss<\/strong> edged out Arizona State&#8217;s\u00a0<strong>Jack Dolan<\/strong> 18.95 to 18.99. One night earlier, Curry won the race at the Art Adamson Invitational in 18.94. Seeliger has yet to swim his midseason meet, but Crooks is the clear pace-setter nationally.<\/p>\n<p>Later on Thursday evening, Crooks won the individual 50 free in 18.60, while another Tennessee swimmer looks to be jumping into the national conversation as freshman <strong>Gui Caribe<\/strong> placed second in 18.91, moving him up to third nationally behind Crooks and Liendo. The Tennessee duo finished ahead of Virginia sprinters\u00a0<strong>Matt King\u00a0<\/strong>(19.15) and Brownstead (19.20).<\/p>\n<p>Tennessee also won a barn-burner in the 200 free relay over the Cavaliers as Crooks&#8217; 18.27 got Tennessee out to a lead of almost a second before Caribe (18.65),\u00a0<strong>Scott Scanlon<\/strong> (19.11) and\u00a0<strong>Aleksey Tarasenko<\/strong> (19.29) held on to win in 1:15.32, with Virginia ending up a few tenths back in 1:15.67. Brownstead (19.24), King (18.56),\u00a0<strong>Jack Aikins<\/strong> (19.02) and\u00a0<strong>August Lamb<\/strong> (18.85) comprised the UVA team.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sidearmstats.com\/utennessee\/swimming\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Live Results<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jordan Crooks Ties Bjorn Seeliger as Second-Fastest 50 Freestyler in History Tennessee sophomore\u00a0Jordan Crooks made a big jump in the men&#8217;s splash-and-dash Thursday evening at the invitational held in his<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":501508,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"dois","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[3,6],"tags":[124216,117569],"class_list":["post-516477","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured","category-college","tag-jordan-crooks","tag-tennessee-invitational"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.3 (Yoast SEO v24.3) -
