Whitman junior Tanner Filion swam a 1:41.49 tonight to win the NCAA Division III Men’s 200 backstroke title as well as break the Division III 200 backstroke record.
This morning, Kenyon’s Yurii Kosian broke the record as he swam a 1:43.43 to be the top seed heading into finals. Tonight, Kosian swam faster as he swam a 1:42.90 but the record will stand in Filion’s name as he won in 1:41.49. Prior to today, the record stood at 1:43.49 as Kenyon’s Harrison Curley swam that time back in 2015.
Coming into the meet, Filion had a seed time of 1:44.57 and was the second seed behind Kosian who came in with a seed time of 1:44.44.
| Tanner Filion 2022 | Yurii Kosian 2022 |
Harrison Curley 2015

| 23.48 | 24.64 | 24.39 |
| 25.64 | 26.33 | 26.08 |
| 26.03 | 25.87 | 26.63 |
| 26.34 | 26.06 | 26.39 |
The biggest difference between the three is that Filion went on in a 23.48 split tonight. That was the only sub 24 split of any of the three swimmers.
This was unbelievable to watch it’s scary because it’s relatively unknown what his LC best times are for all we know he could go sub 2 in the 2 back and put his name in to potentially make the final for world trials
Congrats Tanner, proud of you!
