Matt Fallon held onto the top seed as 100 breast champion Max McHugh won the final heat in 1:50.31. Arizona State freshman Leon Marchand qualified third in 1:50.38 and Texas’ Caspar Corbeau finished 4th in 1:50.51. Cal will have 2 A finalists and 3 B finalists, while Texas will 1 A and 1 B final.
Penn freshman Matt Fallon blasted the top time in heat 6, touching in 1:49.03 to take the top seed with one heat to go. Fallon hit a huge 27.1 on the third 50 to separate himself form the field.
Cal’s Reece Whitley, the third seed, won his heat in 1:50.71. Georgia Tech’s Caio Pumputis finished second in 1:50.85.
Texas’ Jake Foster put up a massive swim in heat four, winning in 1:51.40 and now holds the top time heading into the circle seeded heats.
Cal’s Liam Bell dominated heat 2, winning in 1:52.2, dropping over two seconds from his seed.
Fallon’s turn are below average but swimming-wise he is far ahead of all the others. Some filthy times awaiting in LCM.
I was just thinking he hardly rides the glide from his pullout kick to his first stroke, but with his stroke rate and momentum I don’t think it’s a big issue
27.1 3rd 50 are you kidding me?!
