Dates: Tuesday, February 24–Saturday, February 28 Location: Greensboro Aquatic Center, Greensboro, NC Defending champions: Arizona State women (1x); Arizona State men (1x) Live Results Live Video ESPN + Championship Central Men’s Championship Preview Women’s Championship Preview Teams: Arizona, Arizona State, BYU, Cincinnati, Houston, Iowa State, Kansas, Texas Christian, Utah, West Virginia Psych Sheets Live Recaps Finals: Day 1The ASU men kicked off their Big 12 Swimming and Diving Championship title defense in style, lowering the meet record in the 200 medley relay by two tenths of a second as they roared to a dominant win in 1:20.96. That undercuts their winning time of 1:21.16 from last year, which previously stood as the meet record.
Adam Chaney, a transfer from Florida who looks in great form again this season after sitting out in 2024-25, led off for the Sun Devils in 20.45. That is a quarter of a second off his best of 20.19 from 2022 NCAAs, which ranks him #5 all-time, and a similar amount off his season best of 20.20 from October. He handed over to Andy Dobrzanski, who split 23.20, giving Ilya Kharun clean water when he dived in on fly.
The (recently-announced) American swimmer made full use of that, splitting 18.89 for his joint-4th-fastest split ever. He now owns all of the top five splits in history, and eight of the top ten. Five of those eight swims have come this season, including the #1 split in history of 18.68.

18.68 – Ilya Kharun (2025 CSCAA Dual Meet Challenge) 18.78 – Ilya Kharun (2025 NCAAs) 18.79 – Ilya Kharun (2025 ASU vs USC) 18.89 – Ilya Kharun (2024 Wolfpack Elite Invite)/Ilya Kharun (2026 Big 12 Championships) – 18.90 – Jordan Crooks (2023 SECs) 18.90 – Ilya Kharun (2025 Eddie Reese Showdown) 18.91 – Ilya Kharun (2025 ASU vs UNLV) 18.94 – Ilya Kharun (2026 ASU vs Arizona) 18.97 – Josh Liendo (2024 NCAAs)Tommy Palmer was on the anchor leg for the Sun Devils tonight and led them home in 18.42. Notably, neither of ASU’s top sprinters, Jonny Kulow and Remi Fabiani, were chosen for this relay, setting them up to potentially be used on all four remaining relays including the 800 free relay – one Kulow has never swum at either a Pac-12 or Big 12 conference championships. Kulow owns a best-ever 50 free split of 17.78 from 2025 NCAAs.
The biggest difference between the swim tonight and the previous meet record came on the fly leg, where Kharun was 0.32 seconds faster than his split last year. Chaney was 0.21 seconds faster on the leadoff than Lucien Vergnes was, while Dobrzanski was a tenth of a second slower than last year and Palmer 0.23 seconds off Kulow’s 2025 anchor.
ASU were less than a tenth off their overall Big 12 record of 1:20.87 set at last season’s NCAAs. Adding Jonny Kulow back onto the anchor leg, after he was 17.78 last year, could see them blow past the record next month.

He holds a best of 20.59 from a dual with ASU at the start of February, but was well under his pre-season best of 22.85 tonight.
