Yes, as a sophomore at Arizona State, he\u2019d celebrated a momentous first title for the Sun Devils in which he made three individual and two relay finals. But Kos didn\u2019t leave Indianapolis feeling like he\u2019d swum to his standards.<\/p>\n<p>Saturday, there was no such doubt. After watching ASU teammate <strong>Leon Marchand<\/strong> dominate the competition in 2024, Kos played the Marchand role as a junior, leading Texas <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/texas-captures-16th-national-title-behind-hubert-kos-bob-bowman-and-reassembled-longhorns-roster\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">back to the summit for its 16th national championship<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLast year I didn\u2019t really swim that well, and we had Leon on to carry us,\u201d Kos said. \u201cBut this year we didn&#8217;t have any Leon, so I knew that I had to step up and really do well in my events, and I was able to do that. So I&#8217;m really, really happy.\u201d<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/meet\/2025-ncaa-division-i-mens-championships\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NCAA Division I Men\u2019s Championships Meet Page<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/swimmeetresults.tech\/NCAA-Division-I-Men-2025\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Live Results<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Marchand is the most reasonable recent comparison for what Kos accomplished in Federal Way. He won the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/ncaa-mens-championships-hubert-kos-touches-out-destin-lasco-in-epic-200-im\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">200 individual medley in a sensational race<\/a> with Cal\u2019s <strong>Destin Lasco,<\/strong> going 1:37.91, equal to Lasco\u2019s American record set in 2024 and .07 ahead of the Cal fifth-year. Only Marchand\u2019s past brilliance prevented Kos from chalking up another NCAA mark. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/ncaa-mens-championships-hubert-kos-surges-to-ncaa-record-in-100-backstroke\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">In the 100 back<\/a>, Kos went 43.20 to edge Florida\u2019s <strong>Jonny Marshall<\/strong> by .02 seconds and take down the NCAA record.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/ncaa-mens-championships-hubert-kos-set-ncaa-record-to-deny-destin-lasco-4-peat\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">200 back was start-to-finish dominance<\/a>, Kos going 1:34.21 to lop more than a second off the mark and to beat the field by 2.2 seconds. The chasers were headed by Lasco, in pursuit of his fourth consecutive NCAA crown in the event.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat was a crazy, crazy finish to a really crazy meet,\u201d Kos said. \u201cI knew that I had a chance to do something special in that event. Obviously, I wanted to go 33, but it&#8217;s fine, maybe next year. And it was really a great feeling to get that second NCAA record.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_608897\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-608897\" data-attachment-id=\"608897\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/hubert-kos-marchand-moments-instrumental-to-texas-title\/hubert-kos-21\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/hubert-kos-2025-Mens-NCAA-SD-1833.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1000,750\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Peter H.

Bick<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Kos also swam fly on Texas\u2019 winning 200 medley relay and its runner-up 400 medley relay.<\/p>\n<p>Kos\u2019 2024 NCAAs doesn\u2019t seem all that bad in retrospect, but it didn\u2019t meet his expectations. He finished second in the 200 back, fourth in the 100 back and third in the 200 IM. But all of the times were slower than at the final Pac-12 Championships a month earlier, the 200 IM nearly nine tenths slower. Kos was also part of the Sun Devils\u2019 800 free relay that finished second and the winning 400 medley relay, though Kos\u2019 opening split in backstroke was only sixth-fastest in the field.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bob Bowman<\/strong>, Kos\u2019 coach then and now, takes the blame for that. He had Kos shave and rest for Pac-12s, apprehensive to see a performance out of him in short-course yards, where the native of Telki was still finding his feet. He performed well at Pac-12s, but as is common, didn\u2019t bounce back for NCAAs.<\/p>\n<p>This year, the focus was exclusively on NCAAs, and the results were nothing short of spectacular.<\/p>\n<p>Hubert Kos is also a different swimmer. He entered his sophomore season at ASU on the back of a world championship in the 200 back. He arrived in Austin an Olympic gold medalist in that event.<\/p>\n<p>Those that know him well have seen a difference.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe has experienced a lot more than I do, or any other swimmers basically in today\u2019s NCAA, right now,\u201d said fellow Hungarian Olympian <strong>Zalan Sarkany<\/strong>, the 1650 freestyle champ for Indiana who roomed with Kos at Arizona State and has known him since they were very young. \u201cI would say almost as much as Leon now. But he just knows how to execute his races, and he&#8217;s a natural talent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe&#8217;s much more confident,\u201d Bowman said. \u201cHe used to get quite nervous at the meets and after the Olympics now, he\u2019s just like, this is a piece of cake. So I think that has really helped him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Unprompted, Kos brought up the Olympic pedigree Saturday. There\u2019s something about stepping into the 200 back knowing you\u2019re the Olympic champion that heightens the desire to show everyone what you can do. Kos hasn\u2019t felt extra pressure from that status. Instead, he views it as license to keep pushing to new levels.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt&#8217;s completely different to being a world champion, obviously. But I don&#8217;t feel that I have more pressure on me because of it,\u201d he said. \u201cI just feel that I know now how to swim better, and obviously I have to get better every single year to keep up with these guys. So it&#8217;s really just a case of doing the work, really putting in all the work that we have, and trusting in the process, because that&#8217;s what gets us to the top.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hubert Kos\u2019 Marchand Moments Instrumental to Texas Title Hubert Kos\u2019 comparison of the 2025 NCAA Championships with the 2024 edition quickly tracks to the individual. \u201cWhat stands out about this<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8367,"featured_media":609129,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"dois","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[3,6,122074],"tags":[135714,51189,10818,124556,77336,366,131992],"class_list":["post-609220","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured","category-college","category-europe","tag-2025-ncaa-division-i-mens-championships","tag-arizona-state","tag-bob-bowman","tag-hubert-kos","tag-leon-marchand","tag-texas","tag-zalan-sarkany"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.3 (Yoast SEO v24.3) -
