And the swim postseason is high time for old records to look their age and vanish.<\/p>\n<p>But what transpired this weekend at the University of Georgia\u2019s Gabrielsen Natatorium was special. And the bookends provided by the Tennessee men\u2019s sprint contingent in particular exemplified it.<\/p>\n<p>The Volunteers started the SEC Championships by buzzing within .07 seconds of the NCAA record in the 200 medley relay. Three-quarters of that quartet returned two nights later to absolutely destroy the 200 free relay mark, lowering it to a brain-aching 1:12.80.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/meet\/sec-swimming\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SEC Championships Meet Home<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The same four men \u2013 <strong>Lamar Taylor, Gui Caribe, Lamar Taylor, Nikoli Blackman<\/strong> \u2013 punctuated the meet by going 2:42.41 in the 400 free Saturday, clubbing 0.99 seconds off the NCAA record.<\/p>\n<p>In between, Florida has perhaps the most impressive performance of the bunch, skipping the 2:56s altogether in the 400 medley relay to drop a time of 2:55.66 that is 1.66 seconds quicker than the old mark.<\/p>\n<p>All this fast swimming is not to be taken for granted. The leaps and bounds by which records have been evaporated is stunning, and it\u2019s a reminder of NCAA swimming\u2019s capacity to astound, even in the chaos of short-course yards.<\/p>\n<p>Tennessee\u2019s efforts deserve special mention. With <strong>Kevin Houseman<\/strong> swimming breaststroke on the 200 medley relay around Taylor, Caribe and Crooks, the Vols opened the meet with a 1:20.22 in the 200 medley relay. The 200 free performance made a mockery of the record: 0.55 seconds in a race that can move by hundredths is huge.<\/p>\n<p>The splits are eyewatering:<\/p>\n<pre><b>Event 8  Men 200 Yard Freestyle Relay<\/b>\r\n==================================================================================\r\n         NCAA: N 1:13.35  3\/23\/2023 Florida\r\n                          J.

(Taylor, a transfer from Henderson State, is worth an exploration on his own.)<\/p>\n<p>Crooks is in the process of capping one of the great short-course careers ever.

The Gators got DQed in this race at NCAAs last year. They set the SEC record in 2023, a team only Liendo remains from. They lost <strong>Macguire McDuff<\/strong> and <strong>Adam Chaney<\/strong> from last year\u2019s preferred quartet. But the growth of Julian Smith into the fastest 100 breaststroker in American history, of Liendo into an utter star and of <strong>Johnny Marshall<\/strong> into 4-for-4 in backstroke events in two years at SECs shows the talent continues to turn over.<\/p>\n<pre><b>Event 31  Men 400 Yard Medley Relay<\/b>\r\n==================================================================================\r\n         NCAA: N 2:57.32  3\/29\/2024 Arizona State\r\n                          H.
