Welcome to the last prelims session of the 2025 Texas Hall of Fame Invitational! This meet has seen some of the fastest swimming in the NCAA this season, and if today follows suit, it could be an exciting morning.
Yesterday, Will Modglin set the American Record in the men’s 100 backstroke prelims, and today, he will be headlining the men’s 200 IM, swimming in lane eight of the first heat.
Angie Coe is the top seed in the women’s 200 IM, coming in just ahead of Lucy Bell, who is coming off a pair of event wins in the 100 and 200 breaststrokes.
Torri Huske will be looking to win the women’s 100 freestyle, where she is the 2nd seed behind Texas’ standout freshman Eva Okaro. The men’s 100 free sees Pitt’s Julian Koch as the top seed.
Campbell Stoll from Texas will be hoping to hold off Stanford’s Caroline Bricker for the top seed in tonight’s 200 fly final while USC’s Krzysztof Chmielewski is the top seed in the men’s 200 fly, coming in about nine-tenths ahead of Wisconsin’s Dominik Mark Torok.
The meet will wrap up with the 200 backstroke where Wisconsin’s Maggie Wanezek will be trying to keep up with her incredible improvements this season as the top seed in the women’s event and Texas’ Kyle Peck will be the top seed in the men’s.

Tough DQ for Julian Koch.
Since when NU men’s got so fast?? I don’t recall seeing such a strong class like this since Grever’s era.
Wouldn’t it have made more sense to enter Modglin in the 200 back? The 200 IM is literally so stacked for Texas.
I think so, right? Hubert and Peck likely to swim 2 back at NCAAs. But 200 IM has Baylor, Campbell, Camden Taylor likely to score and Nate was in the A Final as a freshman (still butthurt he can’t swim IM anymore)
But also the prospect of 1 team and multiple sub 1:40s tonight will be so fun to see.
I guess Rex will swim either 200 IM or 200 back?
Rex really got his event line-up f*cked by the unnecessary new schedule.
Dude went 14:25 in his 2nd ever mile post high school. I still can’t believe that. He’s no joke in the 2 IM (1:41) and 2 back (1;38) but mile’s probably his 2nd best event to be honest.
He is close to being a title contender in the mile (with a more agressive racing strategy, he could be). He is great in the other two events (probably has a ceiling of 1:38/1:36), but it’s not the same.
My top 3 in the mile would’ve been Sarkany ;D Jauodi, and Maurer but obviously no shot at that anymore. Rough when he’s also the fastest 200 free guy right now at Texas
Some of these event lineups look so dumb. Camden Taylor having to go back to the 50 free now that the 200 IM is on the same day as the 100 free. come on now
Yeah that’s so dumb. Although nothing beats 1650 on the same day as the 800 free relay and putting the 200 IM in conflict with several 200 form strokes. What they should have done is switching the 400 med relay with the 400 free relay and that’s it.
the 200 IM and 200’s of back and fly is so dumb
Yeah, plus form he is in, I can totally see a 1:35 high/1:36 low happen for him.
You think multiple sub 1:40s are happening then? Certainly possible.
Yeah he dropped 7 tenths in the 100 and he was 1:37.9 when he went 43.9 I think. Bummer he had to choose but on the other hand, it’s cool we got to see a 50.9 breast from him
Baylor, Campbell and Modglin all look on fire. I don’t see why not.
Yeah, having “the” IM am coach as your coach and regressing in IM is such a silly timeline thing.
I’m hoping he can do something tonight, but that 1:43 prelim effort didn’t exactly inspire me.
Is Rex Maurer not rested?
you bring up a good point. 1:32 200 free and 4:11 500. He can be 1:30 flat start.
Well he can be 1:30 but he has been 4:04. His 400 IM was pretty poor for his standards. I first thought he might be sick.
That far off his best in the 500 makes me think he’s got more to give in the 200
I agree with the 400 IM, not being sub 3:40 is strange
Maybe he’s just targeting the US Open… or Bob is tweaking the regimen since his fastest 500 last year was in November. I probably missed it, how come no David Johnson here?
But he’s in the stands… Not sure what’s up with that
David’s in the stands ^
US Open in Austin in 2 weeks – my personal take with no inside information is – not rested.
Texas seems to be coming back down to earth. They’re probably getting tired since they’re not fully tapered.
Not to be nitpicky but isn’t it the other way around? If you are tapered you get more and more tired as the meet goes on whereas if you are unrested you are getting more rest competing than before (when you were training), so you get faster as the meet goes on.
MAGGIE WANEZEK ON FIRE
Wisconsin and female 200 backstrokers haha
Why aren’t there articles about the SMU invite? Stanford men killing it as well as the women, show them some love!
Well….. Arkansas is smoking their women but the men are doing good
