Probably just a bad camera angle, but it looks like that Alons really pushes that 15 meter mark under water off the start. Anyone notice this?

Great swim! Not sure he’ll be able to break the 100 Back record after 100 fly at NCAA

He could nip it leading off the 400 medley relay, though.

But when do they swim that relay? The 2 Free is the first night, so the medley must the night where he already has his fly/back double. Frankly, he will be fresher in the indv 100 back. He went :43 last year doing the exact same double. He’ll be good

Both the 200 free relay and the 400 medley are on the second night. The 200 medley relay comes on the third night, the same session as the 100 fly and 100 back.

You’re right! Good call. I was thinking of the conf schedule where they do the 2MR the early night with the 800FR. He should be very fresh for the 400MR – first Swim of the meet
