By Phillip Whitten<\/p>\n

EAST MEADOW, New York, March 25. PRE-MEET favorite Auburn put itself in position to grab a healthy lead tonight, the first night of finals at the men\u2019s NCAA Division I Swimming and Diving Championships in East Meadow, New York.<\/p>\n

The swimming was fast at this afternoon\u2019s prelims, with Auburn\u2019s George Bovell coming within a hair\u2019s breadth of the world record of 1:54.65 in the 200m IM jointly held by Finland\u2019s Jani Sievinen from 1994) and Hungary\u2019s\/Arizona State\u2019s Attila Czene; and Texas\u2019 Ian Crocker throwing down a very swift 50 free.<\/p>\n

Projecting this afternoon\u2019s prelims into the finals, Auburn is positioned to score 162.5 points, followed by Stanford (120), Arizona (114-1\/2), Cal (104), Texas (970 and Michigan (73).<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how it went this afternoon:<\/p>\n

200m medley relay<\/b>
\nStanford won the first heat in 1:25.94. Arizona, swimming in lane 6, took the second heat one-hundredth of a second slower. Auburn posted the fastest prelim time, 1:25.46, in winning heat 3.<\/p>\n

The American record of 1:25.87 by Team Stars and Stripes in 2001 almost certainly will fall. The world record \u2013 1:25.55 by The Netherlands last year — may be bettered, but of the top six teams only Stanford and Texas have swimmers from only one nationality (American), so we may see faster-than-world record swims that don\u2019t count as world records. <\/p>\n

The NCAA mark, itself, stands at 1:24.83 \u2013 faster than the world mark \u2013 but it was set by a mixed-nationality Auburn team in 2000.<\/p>\n

Arizona\u2019s Lyndon Ferns had the fastest leadoff time, 21.55, three-hundredths faster than Auburn\u2019s George Bovell. Cal\u2019s duje draganja had the fastest relay split at 20.87, followed by Texas\u2019 Ian Crocker.<\/p>\n

It took 1:27.99 to make A final, 129.57 to make B.<\/p>\n

400m freestyle<\/b>
\nThe 400 free presents an intriguing event, with top-qualifier, Michigan sophomore Peter Vanderkaay, a fourth-place finisher in the 500 yards free last year, only marginally the favorite with his 3:43.40.<\/p>\n

Georgia\u2019s Robert Margalis, second last year, qualified sixth, while last year\u2019s bronze medallist, USC\u2019s Ous Mellouli, placed ninth and failed to make the big Final. Arizona sophomore Tyler DeBerry looked good in winning heat 4 (of 6) from lane 8. He qualified second in 3:43.78.
\nMichigan placed three swimmers in the A final: Vanderkaay, dan Ketchum (third) and Andrew Hurd (eighth).<\/p>\n

It took 3:45.49 to make the A final, 3:47.84 to make B.<\/p>\n

200m individual medley<\/b>
\nThe 200 IM was very fast, with an amazing 21 swimmers breaking two minutes and 38 under 2:01. It took 1:58.57 to make the A final, 1:59.31 to make B.<\/p>\n

Auburn placed four swimmers in the A final: 1st, 3rd, 4th and 6th. It would have been five swimmers, but Jeremy Knowles (1:58.35) was DQ\u2019ed for an illegal back-to-breast transition on a very questionable call.<\/p>\n

Auburn\u2019s George Bovell, the defending champion, clocked 1:54.68 in prelims \u2013 only .03 off the world record, and he visibly eased up at the end of his race. Look for Bovell to become the first swimmer from Trinidad and Tobago to set a world swimming record tonight.<\/p>\n

50m freestyle<\/b>
\nThe 50 meter freestyle American\/NCAA record of 21.21 by Anthony Ervin and the world record of 21.13 by Britain\u2019s Mark Foster may be in jeopardy too. <\/p>\n

Texas\u2019 Ian Crocker blazed a 21.44 in prelims to take the top spot, but he\u2019ll be challenged by Cal\u2019s Duje Draganja, who showed no ill-effects from the flu bug that hit him last night.<\/p>\n

Arizona\u2019s Eric LaFleur (21.62), a Swede, Auburn\u2019s Ryan Wochomurka (21.62) and Arizona\u2019s Lyndon Ferns (21.73) all have legitimate shots at the crown.<\/p>\n

So, too, does Auburn\u2019s Fred Bousquet, the defending champion, who squeaked into the A final after winning a swim-off with Cal\u2019s Rolandas Gimbutis. Both men swam 21.94 in prelims, but Bousquet had a perfect start in the swim-off and went on to post a time of 21.50 \u2013 second fastest of the afternoon.<\/p>\n

Auburn has three swimmers in the A final, Arizona two.<\/p>\n

It took 21.94 to make A, 22.10 to make B.<\/p>\n

400m medley relay<\/b>
\nStanford, on the strength of Peter Marshall\u2019s lead-off backstroke leg, had the top qualifying time in the 400m medley relay, 3:30.95, breaking the NCAA record of 3:31.23 by Texas in 2000. But the Cardinal is by no means a cinch to win tonight and the American (3:29.00) and world (3:28.12) records could fall.<\/p>\n

Auburn qualified second in 3:31.58; Texas is fourth, but only used one swimmer, Ian Crocker, who will swim tonight. Cal and Arizona are also legitimate contenders.<\/p>\n

Peter Marshall had the fastest backstroke leadoff split at 51.17. Cal\u2019s Alex Lim was next fastest at 52.13, as three swimmers swam 52s.<\/p>\n

Arizona\u2019s Greg Owen turned in the swiftest breaststroke split, 58.79, but there were three other sub-59s.<\/p>\n

Ian Crocker\u2019s fly split \u2013 49.39 \u2013 was history\u2019s fastest. The only other fly split under 51 seconds was Stanford\u2019s Matt McDonald at 50.91.<\/p>\n

Auburn\u2019s Ryan wochomurka swam the fastest freestyle anchor, 47.61, just a tad faster than Florida\u2019s Cralos Jayme at 47.68. No one else cracked 48.<\/p>\n

It took 3:34.20 to make A final, 3:38.44 to make B.<\/p>\n
