And now Gregg Troy is retiring from college coaching. Coincidence right after the best short course swimmer in history (and probably one of the best senior class national performances in history overall) is done with his eligibility there?

thanks! that kinda explains the 500/400im results but while their 1650 guys were barely off...they were still off such brutally tough results as an example: 5th place from 2016 olympic trails in 400im got to watch the night swim of it at ncaa's this year with his best yds time.

hey PWB, is Kostoff still the distance coach at IU? i talked to him quite a bit when he was at our pool trying to recruit SG that swam the 500/400im/1650 for Cal

Impressive for Texas to pull off the win despite not being in the top three in any relay. Texas was lucky it's swimming AND diving! My former teammate Abrahm DeVine had a dominant swim to win the 400 IM.

Yes, their depth might hurt them, but it is nothing short of amazing to think that Indiana is so close in the hunt with, I think, only 8 swimmers and 1 diver. Their points per person ratio is off the charts. Gotta believe this is going to be huge for their recruiting. Between how their men are swimming here, how well Lily King and their women did, and how well Zane Grothe is doing in their post-grad program, you know their recruiting efforts will yield more in the future. They are definitely a team on the rise - although losing Pieroni and Khalafalla plus Hixon from diving will be pretty big shoes to replace. They do have a good recruiting class coming in, 47.9/1:46 flyer, 4:19/14:35 and 4:25/15:05 distance guys, 20.1 and 19.7/43.4 sprinters. That's not enough to keep up with Texas or Florida or Stanford's monster recruiting classes (though Florida is losing almost everything).

I did see a note in the ticker tape on ESPN that Texas had won the meet on Sunday Morning but that was about it.

Skip, took your advice. ..went to the mens ncaa championships...indescribable. .sarah t That's great that you could go. Its such an exciting meet with outstanding swimming and it does not drag on beyond 4 days and usually people see the last 3 days. Its sounds like you had a great time.

The swimming was berzerk and kicked off by the fellow on the 10 meter tower who, at the beginning of the meet, played the stars spangled banner...trumpet..and then did a full gainer tuxedo and all.... I remember back when I was an age group - maybe 13 years old so 16 years ago? - I was at a meet in Minnesota and somebody did that. My mother took a lot of pictures. I wonder if it was the same guy. Indiana had 12 swimmers and 4 divers. 8 individual swimmers - Pieroni, Finnerty, Lanza, Blaskovic, Khalafalla, Brock, Samy, Fantoni. They swam Romany as a relay-only guy in the 200 FR but I think that was the only relay-only guy they used. For comparison, Cal had 17, Texas 15, Florida 14, NC State 12.

Maybe we should all copy and send the results to our papers to let them know there is more to sports that march madness now !!!

Indiana's lack of depth might come back to bite them but they have a 20 point cushion. Yes, their depth might hurt them, but it is nothing short of amazing to think that Indiana is so close in the hunt with, I think, only 8 swimmers and 1 diver. Their points per person ratio is off the charts. Gotta believe this is going to be huge for their recruiting.

The LA Times had two sentences about USC's winning relay...that's it! Didn't even identify the meet as the NCAA Championships. Sad...

I read the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, and my local news"paper" pretty much every day. Every men's and women's "March Madness" basketball game gets at least a sentence in the sports section, yet none of these news outlets has had one word about this phenomenal meet.

This meet might come down to the last relay... after diving, Texas is 6 up/4 down/2 milers, Indiana 4 up/3 down, Cal 6 up/1 down/2 milers. Indiana's lack of depth might come back to bite them but they have a 20 point cushion. Texas might have locked it up more or less with a better 200 fly performance but they underperformed there and Cal was lights out. NC St has 4 up/2 down and the top seed in the mile but that's not enough to make up their deficit, and Florida has just 3 up and some fringe milers. Three team race now.

:49.69 in the 100 *** to break the 50 second barrier and the kid is junior and will be back next year. So Dressel lost a record. That was another jaw dropper. So was this. Three days after the record was set - another sub 1:30. 1 Townley Haas JR Texas 1:31.78 1:29.50N 194 20 r:+0.72 20.64 43.12 (22.48) 1:06.18 (23.06) 1:29.50 (23.32)
