The 100 butterfly is stacked with several contenders, led by defending champion Josh Liendo<\/strong> of Florida. Fellow Canadian Olympian Ilya Kharun<\/strong> will be looming as well as U.S. Olympian Luca<\/strong> Urlando<\/strong> of Georgia and the NCAA champion two years ago Andrei Minikov<\/strong> of Stanford.<\/p>\n

Texas sophomore Rex Maurer<\/strong> is the top seed in the 400 IM and familiar faces Baylor Nelson<\/strong> of Texas A&M and Georgia’s Jake Magahey<\/strong> are in the picture.<\/p>\n

The 200 free looks to be a battle between Texas stars Luke Hobson, Chris Guiliano<\/strong> and Tennessee’s Jordan Crooks.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 100 breaststroke features two sub-50 swimmers this year in Florida senior Julian Smith<\/strong> and Indiana senior Finn Brooks<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The 100 backstroke features some young guns with Florida sophomore Jonny Marshall<\/strong> and Texas sophomore Will Modglin<\/strong> with the top two seeds. Texas junior Hubert Kos<\/strong> will definitely have something to say about it.<\/p>\n
