A total of four splits made the all-time top five performers in history during the 400 medley relay.
Arizona State’s Leon Marchand swam the fastest 100 breast split ever with a 48.73, faster than his 49.23 that he swam at this meet a year ago. Marhand’s split was key for the ASU men to set a new NCAA record as well as win their first NCAA relay title in program history.
After swimming the fastest 50 breast split of all-time on night 1, Cal’s Liam Bell swam a 49.70 here. That sits at the #4 performer of all-time. Bell notably won the individual flat start version of the event earlier in the night in an NCAA record of a 49.53. Although he was a little slower later in the evening, he still made history.
Also making history was Luke Miller of NC State who split a 43.55 on the fly leg to be tied for the 5th fastest performer of all-time. Cal’s anchor leg Bjorn Seeliger blasted a 40.30 which makes him the #5 performer of all-time.
Although Florida was DQed in the relay, Josh Liendo had the fastest 100 fly split in history with a 42.56. As Liendo swam before the relay was DQed (they were DQed on the final leg for an early take-off), the split will count in the list.

Imagine setting the NCAA record and then being beaten by nearly a second in a relay by a 400 swimmer 🫣
What’s crazy is that if Kos lead off at what he went at Pac12s they’d have been a second faster! And crazy they did this leaving Owen McDonald off and NC State didn’t need Aiden Hayes 🤯 This meet has been beyond my expectations in overall performances!
And the backstroke splits?
I hope Bjorn’s anchor split tonight bodes well for his individual 100 tomorrow.
Pretty sure after the 8 free relay fell none of the relay records that are US open records are also American records
So do we think he will go all out in 2 br or save for the 4×100 relay? I assume he will go all out since asu is winning by a good margin.
Are you shocked?
Does Liendo’s 42.5 split count since it was before the DQ?
i mean duff went early but that doesn’t change when liendo touched
They had Liendo’s 42.7 split from SECs up initially but I see it’s been update to today’s split
