In November of 2018, Tyler competed at the Arizona State Swimming and Diving Championships, where he placed first in the 100 back (52.03) and second in the 200 IM (1:55.68). A week later he competed the same events at the AIA Meet of Champions, placing eighth in the 200 IM (1:56.95), and fourth in the 100 back (52.55).
Tyler, a back and IM specialist, swims for the Phoenix Swim Club in Paradise Valley, AZ. He recently competed at the 2019 4C Speedo Sectionals. He placed eleventh in the 200 back (1:50.14) improving his best time, and he finished 23rdin the 200 fly (1:55.30).
Best SCY times, all achieved at Four Corners Sectionals in March, along with his finishes from that meet:
- 200 back – 1:50.14 (14th)
- 100 back – 52.03 (16th)
- 200 IM – 1:55.68 (13th)
- 400 IM – 4:07.66 (13th)
- 50 back – 24.89
- 200 free – 1:45.48
Barfield’s best times would have placed him in the B-final in both IM and both backstroke events. He will be joining Colin Feehery, Connor Gamble, and Janelle Gursoy who have also committed to swim for the SMU class of 2023.
