Ryan Held has been lighting up the Georgia Tech pool this week at the ACC championships. Monday he dropped a 18.1 anchor on the medley relay. Last night he set a new ACC record with a 18.68 50 free.
For tonight’s show, a bearded Held blasted a 44.79 to win the A-final of the 100 fly. His best time coming into this meet was a 46.06 from last fall. This morning he improved to 45.61, then broke the 45 second barrier tonight. Held was out in an eye-popping 20.41, helped especially by a textbook-perfect 1st turn where he pushed the 15m barrier.
That time broke the existing conference and meet records. Pavel Sankovich of Florida State held both records from 2014, when he went 45.12 at the ACC championships, and 45.00 at NCAA’s. That’s also makes him the 10th-fastest performer ever in the event.
It’s looking increasingly likely that Held will go with the 100 fly next month at the NCAA championships. Last year he swam the 200 free at both the ACC and NCAA championship meets.
For this week, Held will be looking for his 3rd individual victory and meet record in the 100 free.
GO NC State WOLFPACK!!! Rock & Roll part II Gary glitter Hey- GO WOLFPACK/NC State; WOLFPACK fingers with AC/DC thunderstruck; WE WILL Rock you!!! Finish double ones as to NCST sweeping ACC swimming championship!!!!
U good?
Come on one of you NC State trollers has to have a video!
So now we have 6 flyers below 45. 6 100 freestylers below 42 and 5 people below 19 in the 50 plus the insane 200 free. NCAA’s is gonna be so amazing
I would say the same or possibly slower, especially in the sprint events. Most of these times are shaved/tapered, though not all. Also the waves will play a huge role in it. You have open water at your conference if you’re going an 18 50 free, 41 100 free, 44 100 fly. When you get 5/6 guys in a heat that fast that all go the same time, it gets ugly.
There can’t be anymore waves than at GT’s idiotic flat-wall SCY set up…
He’s good
Disclaimer: Peter Kropp was not in the race, so take this win with a grain of salt.
Can’t people say this guy is joking? I personally find this kind of funny
Don’t under estimate Ryan Held
This is a great kid.
