So from as much Dean Farris content as you might want (though truly, will there ever be enough?), to all the emotions of the 2019 Men’s Division I NCAA Championships, scroll to see what made the cut!

Man it feels good to oficially be recognized as the fastest man ever, but I was faster than that in practice last week with Joseph Schooling chained to my ankles #NCAASwimDive

Many levels of SwimSwam comment culture at work here.

From Durden’s pure excitement to the four guys immediately jumping to pick him up (and of course Carr’s very fast swim), we love every single part of this. Our Instagram post of the same video is our most-liked in at least the last year.

Laughed out loud at Blair Bish’s tweet. Good stuff.
I think I had some dust in my eyes or something when I scrolled past #3.
Somebody buy Coach Durden a pair of non-slippery shoes!
Always been a huge Matt Grevers fan. Seeing #6 just solidifies that further. Absolute unit.
oh yeah , what a rock he is physically !!!
Like this if you could careless…..
Swimswam, looks like there’s a glitch in your site that is literally forcing joshj to read this list, may want to look into that
Eagleswim glad to hear it’s working! We know of a few dictatorial governments that are willing to pay big money for this technology, just had to work out a few kinks.
Which is your favorite NCAA post-race victory interview comment?
A) Lilly King in 2017: “I won because I work harder than everyone else.”
B) Felix Auboeck in 2019: “I would’ve sold my b___s for a victory in that event.”
To be sure, both are quite memorable!
Lilly is always good, but Felix’s is truly unmatched. He gets my vote.
Is there a video of Felix’s interview anywhere? I saw his post-1650 interview but didn’t hear the quote in that one.
As a commenter the one by Not Dean Farris is just amazing.
