WATCH: Dean Farris #3 Fastest 100 FR Performer All-Time

2019 MEN’S NCAA SWIMMING & DIVING CHAMPIONSHIPS

Making history yet again was Harvard’s Dean Farris, who won the 100 free in 40.80 on Saturday. The last time Harvard had a double-victor was in 1954 by David Hawkins. On Friday, Farris won the 100 back in the 2nd-fastest time in history.

Farris’ time now is the 7th-fastest time in history. Minnesota Gopher Bowe Becker just missed out-touching Farris in 40.83, now the 8th-fastest time in history. Both Farris and Becker are also the #3 and #4 performers in this event, with only Vlad Morozov and Caeleb Dressel being faster.

Does Farris even need to compete another year in NCAA’s? You think maybe he’ll focus on long course next year with Olympic trials looming? On the other hand, whatever is in the water at Harvard seems to be working for him.

They have coaches, I’ve heard. He wasn’t the only A finalist in an individual event at Harvard. Those coaches deserve a profile. There’s only so much Bob Bowman I can take.

Why isn’t Tate Jackson on the all time performers list? Didn’t he go 41.06 this year?

Did it say 2 for 2? I think it just says double victor – but if you include his American Record in the 200 free which beat Seliskar’s top finish time, 3 fastest times in 3 events at NCAA’s!
