Stanford redshirt freshman Andrei Minakov split a 19.49 50 butterfly split in the 200 medley relay at the Pac-12 Championships Wednesday night. He helped Stanford capture the relay title as the team touched first in a time of 1:22.74 ahead of Arizona State who touched second in a time of 1:22.95.
Minakov now sits at #2 performer ever and the #3 performance ever for 50 butterfly splits. A few weeks ago, Louisville’s Dalton Lowe swam the #3 fastest time, but Minakov was 0.01 faster tonight.

Arizona State’s Cody Bybee also swam one of the fastest splits ever as he split a 19.60 which places him in a three-way tie for the #7 split ever.
Minakov was on the relay along with Leon MacAlister who split a 21.03 backstroke leadoff, Ron Polonsky who split a 23.40 on the breaststroke leg, and Jonny Affeld who split a 18.82 on the freestyle leg to bring it home for the Cardinal. Their final time of 1:22.74 places them at #7 in the NCAA so far this season.
Arizona State’s second place finishing time of 1:22.95 places them at #9 in the NCAA so far this season.

Didnt Held split like a 19.6 first 50 when he swam the fly leg of the 400 medley relay in like 2017 or 2018?
19.70 in 2018, yea
Now is not the time, but I would like to hear Andrei’s perspective on Russia invasion of Ukraine!
Why
I feel that it’s great but foreign student athletes take away from development of other American athletes.
Iron sharpens iron.
Why should NCAA programs care about developing only American athletes?
Any chance he does not get to swim at NCAA’s due to current conflict in Ukraine?
There’s a chance of anything, but I’d say the chance of this happening is very, very, very low.
I think for that to happen, things would have to devolve badly enough that there becomes a chance that nobody swims at NCAAs.
Did Dressell ever do a fly leg in college when rested and shaved? My memory is he got stuck with breastroke
Trent Pellini with the fourth fastest time ever in 50 breast, of course yall sleeping
Dalton Lowe out touches Dressel, Milak, and Minakov to take gold in the 100m fly at the 2024 Olympics. You heard it here first.
