2013 NCAA Championships

Looks like Michigan's more or less got this thing wrapped up barring something very unusual. Solid prelim session today and they nabbed the top seed in the 400 free relay. Cal didn't even make the A final. How about Kevin Cordes going under 1:50 in prelims? Unreal! Kalisz split 59.83 for the breastroke leg of his 4IM. Impressive! Yeah, not too shabby. His free split is the only one I've ever beaten as a 100 of the stroke. :bow:

I think Cordes wins the prize though. He took over 2 seconds off the 200 BR record this weekend. I just checked ncaa.com and he did get Swimmer of the Meet. :agree: No one else had ever broken 1:51 I think, and he breaks 1:49, and not by a little. Mind-blowing. Morozov was incredible too, he's just so much faster than everyone else. He goes 40.2 in the relay -- at the end of the meet! -- and I think no one else at the meet was under 42.

Morozov was incredible too, he's just so much faster than everyone else. He goes 40.2 in the relay -- at the end of the meet! -- and I think no one else at the meet was under 42. Truly amazing. I need to watch the videos of his swims. I guess his turnover is ridiculous.

In the vid he definately looked like he was near his limit of conciousness after his finish.

What an incredible meet! Cordes 1:48.7 200 *** has to be the swim of the meet 2013 Men's Division 1 NCAA 200 Breaststroke- A Final www.youtube.com/watch He split 24.6 27.5 28.5 27.9! His S P L (strokes per length) was: 3 - 4 - 4 - 4 - 4 - 5 - 5 - 6 At the 100 he took 15 strokes & went out in 52.1. I'm real curious to see how he does long course 2013 Men's Division 1 NCAA 100 Breaststroke- A Final www.youtube.com/watch Vlad had an incredible meet too 2013 Men's Division 1 NCAA 100 Freestyle- A Final www.youtube.com/watch

I agree Cordes 200 was the best performance of the meet - and that's really saying something considering all the other amazing swims.

He looked so long, smooth and relaxed. Makes me think he's capable of going substantially faster. highly doubtful. i workout with a 2 time ncaa 200 *** champion and olympian in the 200m *** and he says he is working his rear off even though to us it looks effortless. the best usually do make it look easy. he may have a little more in the tank but not a lot. and to think he did this without a tech suit!!! mind blowing fast.
