Welcome to the final morning in Greensboro* (*except for some long course time trials that will be held on Sunday).

Competition will kick off today with the men’s 100 yard freestyle and the return of 2022 champion Tobe Obochi. Obochi withdrew from the meet on the last day in 2023 and was unable to defend his title, so in his absence Djordje Dragojlovic was crowned the winner. Their best times are exactly one-hundredth of a second apart, but Obochi did get the better of Dragojlovic in the 50 free final, and he’s typically better over the 100. 200 free champ and NCAA record-holder James McChesney is seeded in between them (43.48), and Hamilton freshman Nathaniel Taft is close behind (43.57).

The women’s 100 freestyle is without its defending champion Lily Klinginsmith, as she transferred to Brown, but 50 and 100 champion Kaley McIntyre will be on the hunt for her third title at these championships. She’s seeded first with a 49.47 and two other women have joined her under 50-seconds this season: Alex Turvey and Ella Roberson.

The women’s 200 backstroke is shaping up to be a duel at the top between Kate Augustyn and Sophia Verkleeren. Augustyn just won her first individual national title last night, tying her own national record in the 100 back, but Verkleeren is the defending champion and has bested her twice before in an NCAA final of this event.
