The 2019 Men’s Division I NCAA Championships got off to a raucous start Wednesday night with the 800 Free relay. Not only did Dean Farris swim the fastest time ever leading off for Harvard in an American Record 1:29.15, but the Texas men swam the fastest 800 Free relay ever, breaking all the records with a 6:05.08, and SwimSwam photographer Jack Spitser (spitserphotography.com) was on deck to catch all the action of the night.
I love the Dean Farris story! It proves that you don’t have to attend a swimming powerhouse school to find success. Many, many schools have produced top level swimmers – Dean Farris, Ally McHugh, Sydney Pickrem, Delaney Duncan, Kaersten Meitz, Erica Brown to just name a few. The swimmer is the most important part of the recipe of success, and when you’ve got it, you’ve got it! They can be developed at many different schools!
I would disagree with the statement Texas A&M and Tennessee aren’t swimming powerhouse schools. But yes, agree with the sentiment.
I tell young swimmers asking for advice on recruiting all the time: some people thrive as a small fish in a big pond, some thrive as a big fish in a small pond. Figure out which one of those things you are.
^^ This comment is totally rude and inappropriate.
Harvard should really make its mascot the Deans, it works on many levels. The Harvard Deans. Change my mind
Andrew Seliskar is so hot
drew kibler’s face is better though
How about Dean’s face? The ultimate meme manifests itself!
let’s just say most swimmers are hot how about that
That photo of Andrew Seliskar is soooooooo good
