The Indiana senior put up the top mark in the morning medley heats at 1:39.48, pulling away to dominate the final heat of the event. McDonald, the third-place finisher in the event last year, was just off his lifetime best of 1:39.23 that ranks him ninth all-time in the event. With defending champion\u00a0<strong>Hubert Kos<\/strong> opting out to focus on the 200 back, McDonald is the only swimmer in the race who has ever broken 1:40.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest challenge in the final figures to come from <strong>Maximus Williamson<\/strong>, the Virginia freshman who won the national title in the 200 free from lane eight. Williamson qualified second here in 1:40.06, his lifetime best by seven tenths. Three other swimmers broke 1:41, the Texas duo of\u00a0<strong>Will Modglin<\/strong> (1:40.79) and\u00a0<strong>Baylor Nelson<\/strong> (1:40.82) plus McDonald&#8217;s Indiana teammate\u00a0<strong>Noah Cakir<\/strong> (1:40.94).<\/p>\n<p>The Hoosiers currently sit in third place in the team standings with Arizona State hot in pursuit. With <strong>Josh Bey<\/strong> in sixth place, this three-up performance will help Indiana&#8217;s cause. Texas, meanwhile, can expect a points surge here with Modglin and Nelson in the top heat and\u00a0<strong>Campbell McKean<\/strong> and\u00a0<strong>Nate Germonprez<\/strong> both scoring points. NC State got two into the heat as well, with\u00a0<strong>Daniel Diehl<\/strong> and\u00a0<strong>Arsenio Bustos<\/strong> in seventh and eighth, respectively.<\/p>\n<pre><b>Event 16  Men 200 Yard IM<\/b>\r\n==================================================================\r\n         NCAA: N 1:36.34  3\/23\/2023 Leon Marchand, ASU\r\n         Meet: M 1:36.34  3\/23\/2023 Leon Marchand, ASU\r\n     American: A 1:37.91  3\/28\/2024 Destin Lasco, California\r\n   U.

Liendo has already broken the NCAA record in the 100 butterfly on two occasions while also winning the 50 free.<\/p>\n<p>The last heat of the race provided a shake-up, however, as Pitt&#8217;s\u00a0<strong>Julian Koch<\/strong> unleashed a huge performance to jump into the top spot. Koch touched in 40.52, a half-second best time that jumped him from 23rd all-time into eighth.

Last season, he blasted the NCAA and U.S. Open records by more than a second with a winning time of 1:34.21, and given his 100-yard speed at this meet, another special performance is likely awaiting at night. A prelims time of 1:36.29 already puts Kos a whopping 1.40 seconds ahead of the field, and the time was also quickest in the country this year.<\/p>\n<p>The University of Virginia will also put up big points in this event thanks to a 2-3 finish for\u00a0<strong>David King<\/strong> (1:37.69) and\u00a0<strong>Jack Aikins<\/strong> (1:37.90). King previously tied for eighth in the 200 free prelims but declined a swim-off to allow teammate\u00a0<strong>Maximus Williamson<\/strong> to advance. That decision paid off with an upset win for the freshman.<\/p>\n<p>Also under 1:38 was Alabama&#8217;s\u00a0<strong>Tommy Hagar<\/strong> at 1:37.96 while\u00a0Georgia&#8217;s<strong> Ruard Van Renen<\/strong>, the 100 back runnerup, cut almost 2.5 seconds from his seed to take fifth (1:38.05). Sixth went to\u00a0<strong>Jonny Marshall<\/strong>, the top seed entering the meet who rebounded nicely from a disastrous 17th-place finish in the 100 back Friday. Still, that will not be sufficient for Florida to keep pace with Texas, with the team only snagging two scoring swims in Saturday&#8217;s prelims. Texas, on the other hand, will also get 11th-place points from\u00a0<strong>Rex Maurer<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Indiana&#8217;s\u00a0<strong>Kai Van Westering<\/strong> took seventh, a boost for his team in the battle for third place with Arizona State, while Tennessee&#8217;s\u00a0<strong>Nick Simons<\/strong> was eighth in 1:38.21, eight hundredths better than Cal&#8217;s\u00a0<strong>Keaton Jones<\/strong>. The Volunteers and Golden Bears are currently in a fight for fifth place with 13 points of separation, so this swim could have big ramifications.<\/p>\n<pre><b>Event 19  Men 200 Yard Backstroke<\/b>\r\n==================================================================\r\n         NCAA: N 1:34.21  3\/29\/2025 Hubert Kos, Texas\r\n         Meet: M 1:34.21  3\/29\/2025 Hubert Kos, Texas\r\n     American: A 1:35.37  3\/30\/2024 Destin Lasco, California\r\n   U.
