NCAA Men\u2019s Championships: Destin Lasco Fires Off 43.93 100 Back<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cal\u2019s Destin Lasco<\/strong> secured the top seed in the 100 backstroke at the 2023 NCAA Championships with a time of 43.93.<\/p>\n

The Cal junior bossed the first of three circle-seeded heats in 43.93, taking down a pool record set by Coleman Stewart<\/strong> at NCAAs in 2018. He was about a tenth up on the reigning champion, Kacper Stokowski<\/strong> of NC State, safely in the second seed in 44.02.<\/p>\n

Tied for third are the swimmers that finished second and third, respectively, last year: Indiana\u2019s Brendan Burns<\/strong> and Adam Chaney<\/strong> of Florida. They were the co-winners of the sixth and final heat. For Burns, it wraps up a double with the 100 fly. Stokowski won the next-to-last heat.<\/p>\n
