In yet another example, 10 teams swam under the previous American Record time of 3:01.51 which was set by Cal in 2017. NC State finished 9th overall in the 400 medley relay, but they were the highest ranking team with no international swimmers allowing them to be the new record holders.
Men’s 400 Medley Relay
NCAA Record: 2:55.66 — Florida (Marshall, Smith, Liendo, Painter) (2025) Championship Record: 2:57.32 — Arizona State (Kos, Marchand, Kharun, Kulow) (2024) American Record: 3:01.51 — Cal (Murphy, Hoppe, Josa, Jensen) (2017) U.S. Open Record: 2:55.66 — Florida (Marshall, Smith, Liendo, Painter) (2025) 2024 Champion: Arizona State (Kos, Marchand, Kharun, Kulow) — 2:57.32Top 8:
Florida (Marshall, Smith, Liendo, Painter) – 2:56.10 (Championship Record) Texas (Modglin, Germonprez, Kos, Hobson) – 2:58.95 Arizona State (Wadsworth, Dobrzanski, Kharun, Kulow) – 2:58.97 Cal (Tomac, Okadome, Rose, Lasco) – 2:59.12 Indiana (McDonald, Brooks, Frankel, King) – 2:59.73 Georgia (Van Renen, Pitshugin, Urlando, Branzell) – 3:00.38 Stanford (Sequeira, Polonsky, Minakov, Dupont Cabrera) – 3:00.91 Michigan (Wilkening, Kalafatm Ray, Groumi) – 3:01.19 NC State (McCarty, Hoover, Miller, Fox) — 3:01.34The Wolfpack touched in 3:01.34, a little under two tenths under the eight-year-old American Record set by Cal back in 2017.
With this time last year, they would have been 5th in the event. They actually finished 3rd in 2:59.71, but their backstroker Kacper Stokowski was from Poland, so the time was not eligible for an American Record
When Cal set the record back in 2017, they also did not win the event. They finished 2nd behind Texas who swam 2:59.22, but Joseph Schooling swam their butterfly leg.
Split Comparison

The only split where NC State was slower was the backstroke. Ryan Murphy was out more than a second faster than Quintin McCarty. The breaststroke splits were incredibly similar, but ultimately Sam Hoover was a little more than a tenth faster than Connor Hoope. The biggest differences came in the 100 fly where Luke Miller split four tenths faster than Matthew Josa, and the 100 freestyle, where Jerry Fox was almost a second faster than Michael Jensen.
