College swimming\u2019s greatest stars and top rivalries will be front and center, a celebration of the sport. In anticipation of the meets, here are five men&#8217;s races to watch.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Men\u2019s 100 Back &#8211; SEC Championships<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many factors make the championship season special, from the incredibly close races, to the pageantry surrounding the meet. But one of the biggest highlights is something that SEC Championships has routinely produced: Broken records. Four current collegiate records were posted at last year\u2019s SEC Championships, and more could go this February.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the biggest contenders to see a record broken will be the 100 backstroke, with multiple contenders not far off. Texas\u2019s <strong>Will Modglin<\/strong> (43.26) will be the favorite, as he was just .06 off the NCAA record at the Longhorns\u2019 midseason meet. He\u2019ll have to fend off the record holder himself, however, as fellow Longhorn <strong>Hubert Kos<\/strong> (44.48) looks to win his first SEC championship. Georgia\u2019s <strong>Ruard Van Renen<\/strong> (43.92) is not to be counted out after experiencing a breakout season in his junior year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Add Florida&#8217;s <strong>Jonny Marshall<\/strong> to the mix and the 100 backstroke is a can&#8217;t-miss event.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Men\u2019s 200 Breaststroke &#8211; ACC Championships<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The 200 breaststroke stands out as one of the most tightly-contested events in the country. The fastest and sixth-fastest times sit just a second apart, signaling an ultra-competitive event come NCAAs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Three of the top competitors will face off at the ACC Championships, potentially giving us an early preview. North Carolina\u2019s <strong>Ben<\/strong> <strong>Delmar<\/strong> (1:49.26) enters as the top seed and is ranked second in the nation. But Cal\u2019s <strong>Yamato Okadome<\/strong> (1:50.04) isn\u2019t far behind, and was the ACC runnerup a year ago. Watch out for Stanford\u2019s <strong>Daniel Li<\/strong> (1:50.79), who is looking to reach the podium after last year\u2019s sixth-place finish. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Men\u2019s 100 Butterfly &#8211; SEC Championships<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From the raucous atmosphere to the stakes at hand for respective teams, conference championships can be a lot to handle. The 100 butterfly will feature swimmers used to that pressure, however, with two Olympians facing off.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Florida\u2019s <strong>Josh Liendo<\/strong> (43.42) has continued to make waves for the University of Florida this season, as he is ranked second in the country after winning the NCAA title a year ago. But Georgia\u2019s <strong>Luca Urlando<\/strong> (43.47) will look to challenge the sprinter, in a rematch of their tight race from November. Will third-ranked Urlando get his revenge? <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Men\u2019s 200 Back &#8211; Big 12 Championships<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The 200 backstroke is an event that looks to be tightly contested at the upcoming Big 12 Champs, with just a second separating the first and fifth seeds.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Arizona State\u2019s <strong>J.T Ewing<\/strong> (1:39.00) currently sits as the favorite, as he is ranked second in the country. Arizona freshman Alex <strong>Desangles<\/strong> (1:39.11) sits just .11 behind, while ASU grad student <strong>Adam Chaney<\/strong> (1:39.59) could be a wild card if he chooses to swim the event. Chaney is best known for his 100 backstroke ability, where he is a two-time SEC champion. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Men\u2019s 50 Freestyle &#8211; SEC Championships<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The quickest race in all of college swimming is always a must-see event. This year\u2019s race in the SEC stands out especially, with the margin between the top competitors razor thin.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Liendo (18.40), who was the runnerup at NCAAs a year ago, will duel with Tennessee\u2019s <strong>Gui Caribe<\/strong> (18.47), who has enjoyed a sensational season for the Volunteers. LSU\u2019s <strong>Jere Hribar<\/strong> (18.75) and Missouri\u2019s <strong>Luke Nebrich<\/strong> (18.75) could also be in the mix.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>5
