The men’s meet finished with a bang thanks to Tennessee breaking the NCAA record in the men’s 400 freestyle relay. They finished in 2:42.30 to break their own record of 2:42.41 from last month’s SEC Championships.
Gui Caribe led them off in 40.84, the third fastest split in the field. Lamar Taylor swam 2nd, touching in 41.02 to hand it off to Nikoli Blackman‘s 41.35 in the third spot. Finally, Jordan Crooks brought them home in his last ever NCAA race to split 39.36, the fastest ever 100 freestyle split, by a lot.
Jonny Kulow anchored the 2nd place ASU relay in 39.93, the 2nd fastest rolling split in the field to become only the 2nd person ever to break 40 seconds on a relay.
LSU finished 22nd overall, but Jere Hribar led off their relay with a flat start time of 41.55, which was the 8th fastest flat start in the field. He was just ahead of Quintin McCarty (NC State- 6th), Luca Urlando (Georgia- 11th), and Connor Foote (Texas A&M- 14th) who all split 41.58 to tie for 9th.
Andrei Minakov from Stanford (10) had a very good rolling start, splitting 41.33 on the 2nd leg to tie for the 16th fastest split with NC State’s Luke Miller. Cade Duncan from Northwestern (24th) split 41.88, the 36th ranked split in the field, but he was the only athlete from a team that finished below 20th place to swim a 41 second relay start split.
