both wins and meet records. The squad of <strong>Filip Senc-Samardzic, Jonny Kulow, Quin Seider <\/strong>and <strong>Remi Fabiani<\/strong> went 6:08.31 to get the win. It\u2019s five seconds quicker than their seed time and clips .23 seconds off the meet mark from last year, a team that Senc-Samardzic and Seider were part of. ASU remains behind the Big 12 record bequeathed by Texas at 6:03.42 from its penultimate NCAAs within the conference.<\/p>\n<p>Senc-Samardzic led off in 1:32.87. Kulow followed in 1:32.56, then 1:32.00 from Seider, then the hammer of a 1:30.88 from the Cal Baptist transfer Fabiani on the end.<\/p>\n<p>The margin was all from Fabiani. Arizona finished second in 6:12.65. But the Wildcats were close on the first leg thanks to a 1:33.01 from <strong>Ralph Daleiden Ciuferri,<\/strong> then led at the halfway point when <strong>Tomas Lukminas<\/strong> went 1:31.37. <strong>Ben Butler<\/strong> held tight at 1:33.24 on the third leg, but Seider had surged ahead by .19 seconds, and Fabiani pulled away from <strong>Orion Henderson<\/strong> by more than four seconds.<\/p>\n<p>Both teams hit NCAA automatic standards. Utah was just outside the provisional cut in 6:17.20 for third place despite three 1:33s. TCU was fourth, edging BYU by .04 seconds and Cincinnati by .07.<\/p>\n<pre><b>Event 6  Men 800 Yard Freestyle Relay<\/b>\r\n==================================================================================\r\n      NCAA D1: ! 5:59.75  3\/26\/2025 California\r\n                          Alexy, Jett, Lasco, Heaveneaux\r\n     American: $ 6:00.08  3\/26\/2025 Texas\r\n                          Hobson.
