Today’s session features two NCAA record-holders. Frank Applebaum of CMS will kick things off in the men’s 200 butterfly, where he’s held the record since 2022. He lowered it for the first time outside of an NCAA final last December.

In the women’s 100 backstroke, newly-minted record-holder Kate Augustyn will feature in the penultimate heat. Her time of 53.41 leading off MIT’s 400 medley relay last night undercuts the current top seed by 0.24-seconds, and her own entry time by 0.75.

Finally, while he hasn’t broken it yet, keep an eye out for Derek Maas in the men’s 100 breaststroke. He blew past Andrew Wilson’s 200 IM record on day 1 with a 1:42.97, and holds a best time that undercuts the Olympian’s 100 breast record by 0.16-seconds. His performance here could provide a massive boost to NYU in the team race, as the Violets currently sit just three points back of the Maroons.
