2018 Men’s NCAA Championships: 1650 Free Heats Live Recap

2018 MEN’S NCAA SWIMMING & DIVING CHAMPIONSHIPS

The current standings will be updated as each heat finishes. As the team battle rages on, and no Indiana entrants in the mile, keep an eye on Texas and Cal’s milers as they vie for crucial points.

  30. Chris Yeager, Texas 15:05.42
  31. Josh Dannhauser, Auburn 15:07.88
  32. Johnthomas Larson, Texas 15:11.54

With the early heats done, the top 8 so far are guaranteed to score, even if the top heat beats all eight of them. This was important for Cal, as freshman Sean Grieshop is sitting fourth, and he will finish no lower than 12th (aka, he’ll score at least five points). Nick Norman will race in lane 7 in the final heat later on this evening for Cal, as Texas had no scorers and Indiana had no entrants here.

Why not have the 1,650 prelims on the first day and the finals on the last day? The only race is the 800 relay – is there that much overlap?

Texas should recruit Katie….Her best time would beat two Texas entries in 1650!!!

Poor kid. Does he realize every SwimSwam follower is more concerned about his swim than anyone else’s at this meet?
