There’s a battle brewing in the men’s 100 breaststroke. It feels like we’ve been on record watch in the breaststroke events since Derek Maas announced he would spend his Covid fifth-year competing for NYU after spending his undergraduate campaign with Alabama. But he isn’t the top qualifier; that’ll be defending champion Jake Meyer, and he’s looked excellent all season.

The women’s breaststroke also looks exciting, featuring two of only three women who’ve swum under 1:00 in D3.

The men’s 200 butterfly features the national record-holder, Frank Applebaum, on the hunt for this third-straight title in the event. The women’s fly will see a wave of Violet, as NYU looks to hold their position in the team race.

The men’s 100 backstroke looks like it’ll be a barnburner of a race, with the top six being separated by just 0.16-hundredths of a second. The women’s race is fast at the top, as we’ll see if Kate Augustyn can match her national record from last night’s 400 medley.

On the boards, Kenyon’s Israel Zavaleta looks poised to sweep the diving events for the second year in the row.

Finally, we’ll end with timed finals of the longest relay, the 800 freestyle. It should be a shorter session than yesterday, but exciting nonetheless. Here we go!
