US National Team member Brian Benzing will return to Towson University to train after spending the last year and a half at Indiana. Benzing spent his undergraduate career at Towson before spending his COVID-19 fifth year at Indiana.
Benzing first made NCAAs during his sophomore season in 2022 at Towson. There he made the ‘B’ final of the 100 breast, finishing 13th in a 51.66. He returned to NCAAs as a junior in 2023, finishing 15th in the 100 breast with a 51.48.
He had a huge senior season, finaling in both the 100 and 200 breaststrokes at the 2024 NCAA Championships, including a runner-up finish in the 100 breaststroke with a 50.59. He also was 16th in the 200 breast with a 1:52.71. Both of his times sit as his best times today.
Prior to beginning his senior season, Benzing announced that he would transfer to Indiana University for his COVID-19 fifth year. Indiana had the top breaststroke group in the NCAA last year which included six finalists in the 100 breast at the 2025 NCAA Championships. Benzing made the ‘B’ final with a 50.99 in the 100 breast.
He continued to train at Indiana after finishing his 5th year, and made the 2025-2026 US National Team roster in the 50 breaststroke. He was one of six breaststrokers to make the US National Team that also train at Indiana as Alexei Avakov made the team in the 100 breast, Travis Gulledge made the team in the 50 breast, Josh Matheny made the team in the 100 and 200 breaststrokes, Van Mathias made the team in the 50 and 100 breaststrokes, and Jassen Yep made the team in the 200 breast.
Benzing will now return to Towson under Anthony Bruno, who is in his 3rd season with Towson. Bruno’s first year with the program was during Benzing’s senior year when Benzing was 2nd at 2024 NCAAs in the 100 breast.
Benzing will have the chance to train alongside Jed Garner who spent two years at Tennessee before transferring to Towson. Garner swam in prelims of the 100 and 200 breaststrokes at 2025 NCAAs. Garner swam to a lifetime best 52.12 in the 100 breast and a season best 1:52.45 200 breast at the 2026 CAA Championships. Garner will compete at the 2026 Men’s NCAA Championships next week.
