Crooks went 17.93 for the first time at SECs in 2023. He was 17.99 at the conference meet in 2024, then twice broke the 18-second barrier \u2013 17.85 in the individual event, 17.96 to lead off the relay \u2013 at the conference meet a month ago. Never had he matched that speed at NCAAs, until Thursday, then followed his 17.91 with a flat-start 17.82 to lead off the winning 200 free relay.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think SECs was a good learning process for that,&#8221; Crooks said. &#8220;We kind of figured out what I needed to do to be able to turn up in finals and then turn up on the relay A lot of work in the pool, in practice back home, and we kind of combined everything \u2013 experience, training and it worked out, thankfully.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He did it to get revenge on Liendo, whose 18.07 last year bested Crooks\u2019 18.09. Caribe was actually first to the wall, but Crooks unleashed a heavenly underwater to pop up a yard ahead and stroked it home. For the Caymanian Olympian, this is his ninth career top-six finish at NCAAs.<\/p>\n<p>Arizona State\u2019s <strong>Ilya Kharun<\/strong> finished fourth in 18.31, with <strong>Chris Guiliano<\/strong> and <strong>Jack Alexy<\/strong> tying for sixth.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s amazing consistency among a thoroughly international spring field. Six of the eight A finalists from 2024 are back in the A final this year. The only exceptions are B finalist <strong>Bjorn Seeliger<\/strong> of Cal \u2013 fifth last year, third in 2023 and second in 2022, the Swede finished 11th Thursday \u2013 and Arizona State\u2019s graduated <strong>Jack Dolan.<\/strong> The field featured six Olympians from four countries.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s pretty cool,&#8221; Crooks said. &#8220;I think after a couple years of racing the same guys, it&#8217;s cool to race them freshman year, sophomore year, junior year and kind of see how everyone&#8217;s progressed. Behind the blocks and on the blocks, you really kind of zone in and tune out everybody around you, so sometimes you kind of forget who&#8217;s beside you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Liendo won the event in 2024 and was second to Crooks in 2023. In his seventh individual event at NCAAs, the Florida junior has never been worse than second.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Alex Painter<\/strong> won the B final in 18.60 for Florida, with <strong>Connor Foote<\/strong> of Texas A&amp;M second in 18.78. Seeliger was 11th overall in 18.82, and Indiana didn\u2019t maximize its return with 13th and 15th.<\/p>\n<pre><b>Event 5  Men 50 Yard Freestyle<\/b>\r\n=========================================================================\r\n         NCAA: N 17.63  3\/22\/2018 Caeleb Dressel, Florida\r\n         Meet: M 17.63  3\/22\/2018 Caeleb Dressel, Florida\r\n     American: A 17.63  3\/22\/2018 Caeleb Dressel, Florida\r\n   U.
