The third day of the NCAA Men\u2019s Championships on Friday morning will include a side-by-side rematch of last year\u2019s 400 individual medley NCAA final.<\/p>\n

The day at the University of Minnesota\u2019s Jean K. Freeman Aquatic Center will be begin with Leon Marchand<\/strong> and Hugo Gonzalez<\/strong> in adjacent lanes in the final heat of the 400 IM. Gonzalez set an NCAA record in winning the event last year for California, though Arizona State\u2019s Marchand has since lowered that mark and enters as the top seed. He also won the 200 IM on Thursday night<\/a>. Gonzalez is the fourth seed, owing to a late start to the NCAA season for the Spaniard. Carson Foster<\/strong> is the second seed in what sets up as a pulsating final.<\/p>\n
