FSU Freshman Michel Arkhangelskiy has made waves this week at the ACC Championships. First, he helped the FSU 200 medley relay to a 2nd place finish with a 19.1 50 fly split before garnering a 2nd place finish himself in the 100 fly (44.36), and finally last night he took the win in the 100 back (44.49). The Russian-born French citizen seems to have adjusted well to swimming at Florida State, noting that it doesn’t feel like he’s just ‘a swimmer’ now, but rather part of a team.
Phenomenal swimmer having a great meet.
This comment is NOT specifically directed at him (more using him as an example): It’s a shame that the English proficiency (or lack thereof) demonstrated in his interviews this week seriously reinforces my doubts about the rigor of college academics for successful student-athletes. How someone with this level of English is submitting passable academic work is beyond me.
One effect of Marchand’s rise through US collegiate system is more swimmers are coming from France to join the NCAAs, Secchi a few years ago, this year Ambre-Moluh, Mazellier, Tomac, and this kid.
And more will be coming next year. Looking at last year’s French Olympic trials and SC champs results, I can count at least 5 finalists that are committed to US colleges next year.
Splitting 91.1 and 43.3 as a freshman is stunning. I think both are faster than what Ilya went last year.
