With diving points Texas should pip Indiana (Jordan Windle a title contender in the platform, holds the NCAA record set at Big 12s). Looking like Indiana might even finish above Cal.
Steele Johnson will win tower
It has been enjoyable, but Texas has it. Next yr. I think Cal. overtakes them. But, that is next yr. I am rooting for Schooling to go out with a win in the 200 fly and their only relay win tomorrow.
Reminder that Texas has a huge incoming class over the next few years. Also I think texas will win the 2 back.
Ooh gonna be a good one. Texas could reaslistically go 4 up in the two back, with 3 up 1 down a much more reasonable possibility.
Embarrassing how poor Texas is in relays this year.
ProTip: Eddie might have thought of recruiting some breaststrokers before Licon graduated….
He did. Look up Austin Temple’s HS times.
He was too busy winning National Championships to worry about a little thing like recruiting. But I’m sure he will thank you later for the tip… after he wins another National Championship, which will make 14 more than you!
A Texas 4-peat is starting to look realistic unless Schooling screws up even more (200 fly, and costing them a possible win in the 400free relay)
After winning the 200 FR, I would call Florida a solid favorite in the 400 FR. NC State might have challenged, but not without Ress. Texas is in my pick ’em but they don’t look up to it. Still bet they win the meet.
Count me in what appears to be the minority here that I would be bummed with a Texas team victory this year.
That said, it looks like this is a dogfight among Texas, Indiana, and California for Top 3. I think those are the 3, and highest chance that it’s in that order. On paper California looks like a lock on 3rd and only 3rd but if they keep sneaking prelims swimmers into 8th and 16th and continue to move up spots in finals, there could be some surprised faces tomorrow night. They are looking to play spoiler and it is palpable. Kudos to Indiana for at least (very likely) finally upsetting the Top 2 circle jerk that has been… Read more »
