Vini Lanza (73%) delivered on his favorite status in the 100 fly. Coleman Stewart of NC State (34%) was 2nd, Miles Smachlo of Michigan (21%) was 3rd, and Maxime Rooney of Florida (22%) was 4th.

Andrew Seliskar of Cal (33%) upset favored Townley Haas of Texas who was 4th (1%). Zach Apple of Indiana (2%) was 2nd, and Drew Kibler of Texas (32%) was 3rd.

Ian Finnerty of Indiana (93%) delivered as a strong favorite in the 100 breast. Carsten Vissering of USC (65%) was a popular choice for 2nd. Max McHugh of Minnesota (33%) was 3rd and Reece Whitley of Cal (29%) was 4th.

I’d just like to point out that I’m around top 5% after picking Dean (our Lord and Saviour) for 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th in the 100 backstroke… Also, SwimSwam you guys should probably make it so that people can’t do that…
Name is MaxDeAxe1 if you want to verify.
