Welcome to the final session of the 2025 Men’s NCAA Division I Championships! It’s been a great week of racing in Federal Way, and we’re surely in for even more excitement tonight. Unlike the women’s meet last week, the team race is still alive and well. Texas enters the evening with a good lead over Cal and Indiana, however, it’s not an insurmountable lead. Every race will count tonight, which only raises the energy in the building.
It will start with the fastest heat of the 1650 free, where Texas’ David Johnston comes in as the top seed with a 14:26.00. Cal’s Lucas Henveaux is the only other swimmer in the NCAA this season to have gone under 14:30, coming in as the 2nd seed with a 14:29.74. Meanwhile, Longhorn Rex Maurer has already won the 500 free and 400 IM this week, and will be looking to make it 3-for-3 with a win in the mile. Then, there’s defending champion Zalan Sarkany, who won this race last year for Arizona State, and will be in the field for Indiana this time around.
The 200 back should be a race for the ages. After setting the NCAA Record in the 100 back last night, Texas’ Hubert Kos went 1:36.08 in prelims this morning. His work is cut out for him, however, as Cal’s Destin Lasco is the NCAA Record holder in the 200 back, and went 1:36.40 this morning. Fellow Golden Bear Gabriel Jett was 1:36.69 this morning, so he could very easily be right there in the mix as well.
Tennessee’s Jordan Crooks shocked us all this morning when he took down Caeleb Dressel‘s NCAA Record in the 100 free, swimming a 39.83. He already broke the record, so all that’s left for him tonight is to see if he can lower it any further.
The 200 fly ought to be a great race as well. NCAA Record holder Luca Urlando led prelims this morning with a 1:37.35, earning him the top seed for tonight by over a second. Arizona State’s Ilya Kharun should give Urlando a good fight tonight, however.
