Texas’s Will Licon and Missouri’s Fabian Schwingenschlogl moved to #2 and #3 all-time in the 100 breaststroke in the same race Friday, taking gold and silver in the men’s NCAA final.
Licon went 50.68 to win the race, putting together a huge back half of 26.80 to erase a half-second lead Schwingenschlogl built early. Licon was 50.87 in prelims to sit #4, but passes up Damir Dugonjic (50.86) and Cody Miller (50.82) in the rankings to sit only behind American record-holder Kevin Cordes.
Schwingenschlogl was 51.76 in prelims and cut almost a full second at night, pushing the pace early with a blazing 23.46 opening split. He was 50.77 to pass up Dugonjic and Miller to sit #3 all-time in the event.
Here’s a look at the updated top 10 list of all-time performers:
Place | Swimmer | Time |
1 | Kevin Cordes | 50.04 |
2 | Will Licon | 50.68 |
3 | Fabian Schwingenschloegl | 50.77 |
4 | Cody Miller | 50.82 |
5 | Damir Dugonjic | 50.86 |
6 | Chuck Katis | 50.89 |
7 | Andrew Wilson | 50.94 |
8 | Nic Fink | 51.08 |
9 | Brandon Fiala | 51.30 |
10 | Mike Alexandrov | 51.35 |
Virginia Tech’s Brandon Fiala sits #9 all-time with his prelims swim, though he dropped back a bit in the final.
Licon now has the 4th-fastest swim of all-time and Schwingenschlogl the 7th-fastest.
Who was the last person to win the 400 IM and the 100 Breast in their NCAA career? That seems a bit bizarre as they are on the same day.
It was Tracy Caulkins of Florida who won the 100 breast and 400 IM in 1984. I can’t find any men who have done that combo, although Tom Wilkens of Stanford won the 200 breast and 400 IM in 1998.
55:40-55:45 time stamp of the ESPN replay. Licon takes his final stroke and instead of breaststroke kicking, he takes a dolphin kick. A clear DQ that wasn’t called. Unfortunately this is evidence that he cheated his way to this title, and there is no other way of seeing this.
Get over it.
Where is Chuck Katis on the list, 50.89 prelims of 2015 NCAAs?
Cordes went 50.25 in 2015
Schwingenschlogl a former Hilltopper. So sad.
Does tis make him the first swimmer ever to win NCAA titles in 4 different events?
there have been others, like mark spitz, gary hall jr, and someone else
how many different events did Tracy Caulkins win?
Licon 1:47 in the 200? He’s obviously got more pure speed than last year. Look out for him in the 100/200 internationally this year. This also makes Cordes’ time even more unreal.
