Olympian Luca Urlando won his first individual NCAA title last night, smashing his own US Open record in the 200 fly in the process. After the race, Urlando reflected on the journey he has taken to get to this point, including dealing with multiple injuries and taking an Olympic redshirt which saw him move to ASU to train with Bob Bowman.
There you go, Luca! happy for you!!
45.1. Lordy. Such a great swim, congrats for fighting your way back and swimming your race.
I had kind of forgotten that a year ago, Sarkany, Kos, and Urlando were all training at ASU. Now they’re all NCAA champs at different schools…
very cool to see this, feels somewhat like Hugo’s 400 IM win in 2022. Love seeing comeback stories and this guy had so much potential coming out of HS that it’s great to see him live up to it.
Luca is living proof that setbacks don’t have to put limits on one’s success! From being at the top, to surgery, to building back, to Team USA Olympian, and now NCAA Champion 🥇
Incredible stuff from Luca, his coaches, and teams at UGA and DART 💪
Okay Yanyan tweeted last night that he said he’s coming back…can we get an article/confirmation on that before I explode with excitement?
Oh Luca, my glorious king, my pookie wookie bear, where do I even begin…
Maybe someone knows the answer to this, but why did he never swim the 100 bk at NCAAs? No double is easy, but the 100 fly / 100 bk double is very doable and, as the very recent record holder, it seems like he would have contended for a title in the event.
That is 5 swims in 1 day
