Florida State defeated Tampa at their senior day on Friday, winning 23 of the 28 events. The highlight of the meet, however, was sophomore Jacob Hamlin breaking the DII NCAA record in the 1000 freestyle.
Hamlin now owns the 500, 1000, and 1650 DII records, and is the clear favorite to win all three at the NCAA Championships in March.
He won the 1000 and 500 freestyle events against a more sprint-leaning FSU team. His 1000 free record time of 8:53.99 won the event by more than 20 seconds over 2nd place Diego Dulieu’s 9:16.14. Hamlin won the 500 by far less, swimming 4:20.96 in the event to touch less than a second ahead of FSU’s Yordan Yanchev.
