Minutes after finishing his race, Lloyd was shocked to hear the announcer call that he&#8217;d been DQed for crossing over into another swimmer&#8217;s lane.<\/p>\n<p>Lloyd had, in celebration, moved into his teammate <strong>Ross Dant&#8217;s<\/strong> lane to celebrate with him after the Wolfpack distance stars had finished 1-2. Athletes in other lanes were still swimming, but the footage is clear in showing that Lloyd and Dant had not interfered with anyone still finishing their race.<\/p>\n<p>Dant, to his credit, was reluctant in being given the title, saying: &#8220;I think that&#8217;s the dumbest rule in swimming. Owen beat me fair and square. He should be on the podium. He was excited. That&#8217;s a huge swim for him. He earned that, and that&#8217;s his emotion.&#8221; Dant then went on to give Lloyd the award. When the N.C. State Instagram account posted about the race, it used a picture of both Lloyd and Dant, calling them co-champions.<\/p>\n<p>The official who disqualified Lloyd was, at least on paper, correct in disqualifying him. &#8220;A swimmer who changes lanes during a heat shall be disqualified.&#8221; The guideline is known as Rule 2.5.b.<\/p>\n<h4>A Moment of Virality<\/h4>\n<p>The story reached outside of the standard swimming news outlets. It reached national levels and entered conversations that had never previously included swimming.<\/p>\n<p>Olympic champion<strong> Amy Van Dyken<\/strong>, who provided commentary for the meet, went so far as to point out similar situations in other races: &#8220;So if you called out Owen Lloyd for celebrating and &#8216;interfering&#8217; &#8211; which he did not &#8211; you gotta call the backstrokers for diving in, which you did not. So if you&#8217;re going to call one, you call them all. That has been my problem with this whole thing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Lloyd&#8217;s newfound viral support brought him all the way to the NCAA Championships, where he landed himself a fifth-place finish, a moment of redemption after a difficult ACCs.<\/p>\n<h4>2025 ACCs<\/h4>\n<p>The 2025 ACC Championships brought all eyes to conference realignment. Meanwhile, Owen Lloyd waited four long days to reclaim the title he had briefly held in 2024. After swimming a 14:37.04 in 2024, Lloyd crushed a time six seconds faster at last month&#8217;s ACC Champs. His 14:31.64 left him five seconds ahead of second place, and earned him a conference title that stuck this time.<\/p>\n<p>Lloyd led a 1-4-6 finish for the Wolfpack, highlighting a strong distant contingent. The crowd erupted for Lloyd during the race, supporting his chase for the title. After he claimed gold, the fans were even louder.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That race last year did a lot of things for me,&#8221; Lloyd said. &#8220;It was emotionally hard and I was very proud of it, and it was taken away from me. But I&#8217;m so glad it happened. All part of the plan. Put a chip on my shouldder and I came back even stronger.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Owen Lloyd&#8217;s 2024 ACC disqualification highlights many of the ways both casual and hardcore swim fans feel the sport needs to evolve. In order to bring the sport to a more public zeitgeist, allowing for these moments of heart and emotion to break through (in the right way) is crucial.<\/p>\n<p>A moment of redemption to celebrate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One Year After Heartbreaking DQ, Breaking Down the Redemption of Owen Lloyd At last year&#8217;s ACC Championships, North Carolina State
