Dean Farris has been on fire so far at the 2018 Ivy League Championships in Princeton, New Jersey. After putting up a blistering 1:30.69 split on the 800 free relay, Farris hit a new best time in the individual 200 free. Farris dominated the field, throwing down a 1:31.12 to smash his own Ivy League Meet Record by half a second. Check out Farris’ splits below.
Farris’ Splits By 50:
- 1st 50 split- 21.33
- 2nd 50 split- 23.09
- 3rd 50 split- 23.10
- 4th 50 split- 23.60

Farris’ Splits By 100:
- 1st 100 split- 44.42

Minutes after his 200 free, Farris returned to set a new Ivy League Meet Record in the 100 back, touching in 44.81 to miss the All-Time Top 10 Performers list in that event by hundredths. With his time in the 200 free tonight, Farris is the 4th fastest performer in history. It was also the 5th fastest performance ever. Farris will have the opportunity to go head-to-head with the only 3 men to ever have swum faster than him at next month’s NCAA Championships.

Dean Farris! Dilly Dilly!!
I only came here for the comments… And it totally paid off!! 😀
Hooray for Deanbiscuit!
If someone had told me 2 years ago that someone would surpass Michael Andrew as swimming icon of swimswam, I would have never believed it.
Dean Farris has done it. That’s huge.
It’s laughable that promising swimmers who still have everything to prove at the national and international levels are the beloved guys of swimswam comment sections. But that’s the current world….
This is your worst comment ever and I truly mean that.
Edit – The guy that keeps track of dozens American age groupers from when they’re 10 really hates it when other people enjoy stuff. And like half of this site trashes Michael Andrew!! Gah see, I hate explaining myself and look what you made do. Look what you just made me do.
Well said
I don’t trust nobody and nobody trusts me ??♀️
Because Michael Andrew can go 1:31 in the 200 free
Bobo, allow me to give you a private tour of the pit of misery
Can’t wait to see his progression in long course too. He’s a much better SCY swimmer so far but he has already proved he could do well in long course too. And like many of great 200 free SCY swimmers I see him more successful in the 100 free in the big pool. Like Mallory Comerford for example.
We’re talking about Ivy’s. There is literally no way he can prove himself on the LCM stage at this meet. It’s swum in yards. All he can do is swim fast yards times here. Which is what we are talking about.
Go away.
But he can probably go to Trials in June
I realize that most of the commenters play a game when comes an article about Dean Farris but it’s always fun to read. I wonder how many of you are really sincere. 🙂
Great performance but again, I hope he can go faster when it counts and that he will be not slower, or much slower.
Being sincere? We are having fun with a meme but 1:31 is a special time….
Bono. With all due respect…. can you swimm 1:31.1?
I really want this guy to swim fast, not only because he seems to be a nice person, but also (and mainly) because of the comment section it’ll generate. #Gottalovethisguy
Many people say that lightning doesn’t strike in the same place twice, but Dean is swimming prelims and finals at Ivy’s.
