MEN’S 200 BREAST:

  1. GOLD: Mark Szaranek, Florida, 1:51.83
  2. SILVER: Mauro Castillo Luna, Texas A&M, 1:52.15
  3. BRONZE: Nils Wich-Glasen, South Carolina, 1:53.53

Though he typically swims the 200 fly, Florida’s Mark Szaranek changed things up with the 200 breast today. The move paid off, as Szaranek won his first ever individual SEC title, coming from behind to beat Texas A&M’s Mauro Castillo Luna. South Carolina’s Nils Wich-Glasen had the fastest front half, but faded to 3rd, holding off Texas A&M’sJonathan Tybur (1:53.55).
