Michigan’s Felix Auboeck bounced back from a rough 500 free in the best way possible: he swam a gutsy, strong 1650 free, sticking right at NCAA record pace to win by four seconds. Auboeck was 14:23.09 – six seconds faster than his runner-up time last year, and two tenths off his lifetime-best, put up in another runner-up performance back in 2017. Auboeck’s best time ranks him 3rd all-time in the event.

Or “I stopped listening to Coach Bottom”
Whats the deal with coach Bottom? obviously has great credentials, having coached Ervin, Cavic, GHJ back in the day. Does anyone have any insight?
Such a kind and genuine person. Happy for his results.
Felix “I would have sold my balls to win” Auboeck
In a meet full of great things, that may have been the highlight.
It’s an Austrian expression
