The Cal Golden Bears successfully reclaimed the men’s NCAA swimming & diving championship title just over a week ago in Atlanta, charging to a 51.5-point victory over the 2021 champion Texas Longhorns.
The meet was blazing fast as a whole, featuring some of the fastest fields in history and several record-breaking performances. That included five new U.S. Open Records, two in individual finals, two relays, and one lead-off swim in the 400 medley which was a shock to all.

Classic Purdue. If they only had a good HS swim state they could recruit from.
NC State is for sure one of the deepest teams out there. Didn’t dominate relays like Cal/Texas/Florida and didn’t have a ton of podiums but still got 4th place. Really shows the depth all around- they have tons of people that can score points.
And they are young! Not a single graduating athlete scored points or participated in relays. Lots of upward mobility for that team!
Did Swimswam ever break down men’s NCAAs by class scoring? I’d guess NC St may have the most returning points
i wonder how much that matters these days with superstar freshmen….
Do you think you will do an analysis on how fast this meet was compared to Ncaas in the past?
Time for SwimSwam to give Burns a bio page….
