If you look at Auerbach’s 50 Free split he would have won the 50 free as well. Incredible night for this young man.

Just an FYI I think you guys have Auerbach’s prelims 200 time, he actually went 1:37.0 at night. Those first two splits were insane- 21.2/23.9 for a 45.1 going out but he certainly did not make it all the way through at that pace haha
