On night 5 of the 2020 SEC Championships, Florida’s Bobby Finke made history. Finke, a sophomore, became the fastest man ever as he defended his title in the mile. Finke lapped the field en route to his dominant 14:12.08. That crushed the former NCAA Record of 14:22.41, set by Clark Smith in 2017, by over 10 seconds. He was also over 6 seconds under the former American Record of 14:18.25 set by Zane Grothe in 2018.
MEN’S 1650 FREE
Finke dropped over 10 seconds from his former best. As a freshman, he had set the SEC Record in 14:23.01. At this meet, he also took bronze in the 500 free and 400 IM. He also has a 400 IM title to his name as he won the race in 2019. Finke will now turn his attention to next month’s NCAA Championships, where he’ll race against Michigan’s reigning NCAA Champion Felix Auboeck.

Florida’s free group is nasty

Missed the finish?
They were following the swimmer in lane 1 I think
I think you’re right. 99% of the race videos that go up on YouTube come from TAMU, so they focus on their swimmers.
Better than nothing 🙂
The UGA Swim and Dive channel realises about halfway just how quick he’s going and keeps him in shot from then on.

Please tell me there’s a video where we’re not following the guy who finished a minute and a half later than the winner
Nothing yet, but we’ll keep looking!

I’ll try harder to go 14:12 so you can have a better video next time.
Always dream big. When Finke goes 13:59 you’ll still be in shot because you’ve just negative split 13:57.
We’re talking about a program that over the last 12 years or more has produced Lochte and Dressell – Now has the Best 2 underclassmen in the sport in a variety of events … Congrats Troy, Nesty and Jungbluth! They obviously get it.
That moment you break 15 minutes for the first time but still get lapped…
My son was in the heat and said when Finke lapped him, at the point he did, he was thinking either I’m not going as fast as I think, or he is going really, really fast. He was expecting Finke to lap just not so soon.
ESPN SEC Network streaming has the replay of meet up.
I was wondering what others would be thinking in the same heat! Phenomenal swim!
Are you kiddin with this video?
A real bomb for this historic swim.
Hello??
Lol I was thinking the same thing but I think the person filming was following another swimmer.
It’s time for the US race meters to set WORLD Records!
After the 500 and now this Clark Smith just retired.
He was only a threat in the 200 because they take 6.
