LSU junior Brooks Curry completed the sprint sweep on the weekend, winning the 100 free in 40.84. Curry used a masterful last 25 to overtake the field and win at the touch. Cal’s Bjoern Seeliger, who qualified first out of the prelims, finished 2nd in 41.00. Seeliger and Crooks turned nearly even in the lead at the halfway point, both out in 19.2, but Crooks faded on the final 25 to finish 5th in 41.24.
Roudning out the top three finishers was Stanford’s Andrei Minakov, who finished in 41.09.
Harvard’s Dean Farris, who won this in 2019, won the B final in 41.42. He touched just ahead of Ohio State’s Ruslan Gaziev, who finished in 41.56.
Just realized because of Andrei‘s 41.09, he’s now the fastest freshman in history
His last stroke into the final turn was astonishingly massive. You could sense his sheer will and determination to overcome that deficit. Congrats on another great swim in a maximum pressure moment.
Here is the kid who desperately wanted to go to Auburn, but … He is not looking back!
They only offered him a walk on spot too
Big middle finger to them
..and Brooks individual points = 52 > entire Auburn team = 22
