I do remember those Princeton Medley Relays because they won the first 2 when the NCAA started swimming them in 1989. I have those races both on tape and I remember Mike Ross the did the backstroke almost completely under water. He split :21.81 in 1990 and :22.77 in 1989. The time for 1988 was 1:28.36 which was not a record because Stanford had set the record in the prelims at 1:28.26. I remember the next year they swam out of lane 1 and set the American, US Open, and NCAA record at 1:27.31. The recorded split for Lee Roy Kim was 24:85 in 1990 and the recorded split for Rich Korhammer was :23.91 which was the fastest split until 1997.
The Tennesse team in there 200 Medley Relay on 2-19-97, set an American Record of 1:25.76 and Jememy Lin split a :23.55. Andrew Jerger for Auburn split :23.57 in the 1998 NCAA's for Auburns winning 200 Medley Relay. Brenden Hansen split :23.59 in the 2003 NCAA Championship meet swimming with the Texas when they set the still standing American, US Open, and NCAA record at 1:24.46. However the fastest split I found on the NCAA website was from Jeremy McDonnell from Tennesse and he split :23.41 in the 200 Medley Relay in 2001 finals of the 200 Medley. If you go to the NCAA website they have all of the splits for the relays since 1998. By the way Mike Ross from Princeton I believe is swimming masters now and doing very well.
