I was just trying to get the win for the team and make it count.<\/p>\n<p>In his first NCAA race, Jaouadi and defending champion <strong>Zalan Sarkany<\/strong> of Indiana were close the entire race. But Jaouadi threw down the 22.73 on the final 50, while Sarkany was at 24.93, still a sensational final split.<\/p>\n<p>Sarkany also broke the meet record with a swim of 14:12.20, but couldn&#8217;t overcome that late burst that Jaouadi had in the final 50.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I tried to stay with Zalan because he knows how to swim the mile more than me,&#8221; Jaouadi said. &#8220;He already did a lot of them, and racing him was really helping for me to go that fast. The plan was just to stay with Zalan as long as I can, and whenever he tries to change the rhythm and pick it up, I just go faster and try to take off.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>There was a 10-second drop off to the rest of the field, which included two more Gators and another Hoosier.<\/p>\n<p>Kentucky senior <strong>Levi Sandidge<\/strong> finished third in 14:22.26.<\/p>\n<p>Fourth place went to Florida fifth-year <strong>Ahmed Hafnaoui<\/strong>, who got to the wall in 14:22.64. while fifth went to another Gator, senior <strong>Gio Linscheer<\/strong>, who led the early heats with a time of 14:34.18, a 12-second drop from his seed time, which was enough to move up to fifth.<\/p>\n<p>Another Hoosier was next as sophomore <strong>Luke Whitlock t<\/strong>ook sixth in 14:34.30.<\/p>\n<p>Stanford senior <strong>Liam Custer<\/strong> was the second-fastest of the morning with a 14:37.28, a drop of seven seconds to finish seventh.<\/p>\n<p>Kentucky junior Carson Hick was eighth with a 14:39.66, also from the first NCAA morning session.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/swimmeetresults.tech\/NCAA-Division-I-Men-2026\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Live Results<\/a><\/p>\n<pre><b>Event 1  Men 1650 Yard Freestyle<\/b>\r\n=========================================================================\r\n         NCAA: N 14:12.08  2\/22\/2020 Bobby Finke, Florida\r\n         Meet: M 14:12.52  3\/27\/2021 Bobby Finke, Florida\r\n     American: A 14:12.08  2\/22\/2020 Bobby Finke, Florida\r\n   U.
