In the prelims, he set two CCS records in the 100 backstroke and 50 free, swimming 46.13 in the 100 back and 19.62 in the 50 free.
In finals, he swam the 100 backstroke in 45.81, taking three tenths off his prelims record and more than a second off the Club Nationals meet record of 46.84 which was set by Alan Maher back in 2012. Davis also cut three seconds off the CCS record of 48.55, which is slightly slower because the CCS was established in 2017.
Davis was about six tenths off his lifetime best in the event of 45.24, which he swam at the 2025 ACC Championships. UNC’s James Bennison finished 2nd in 49.33.
Later in the session, he raced the 50 freestyle, swimming 19.28 in the final to cut more than three tenths off his prelims record and seven tenths off the former record time of 19.94 set by USC’s Billy Cruz Zuniga in 2023. This was a new personal best for Davis, who came into the meet at 19.37 from November.
The 2nd place finisher, Cal Poly’s Lucas Crother-Collado, and the 3rd place finisher, Arizona’s Scott Edmiston, also came in under the record, touching in 19.78 and 19.85 respectively.
Finally, Davis swam the backstroke leg on UNC’s 400 medley relay that swam 3:13.25 to take five seconds off the former record of 3:18.40 set by Purdue back in 2024. Davis led the team off in his 3rd 100 backstroke record of the day, touching in 45.75 to cut another six hundredths off his finals time of 45.81.
The rest of the relay was made up of John Donovan on breaststroke (54.76), Everett Oehler on fly (47.50), and Harrison Gardner on free (45.24).
The first event of the men’s meet, the 800 freestyle relay, also saw a new CCS and Meet Record. Cal Poly swam 6:38.22 with their team of Gavin Tallman (1:40.33), Joshua Olson (1:41.27), Lucas Crother-Collado (1:37.14), Vaughn Taner (1:39.48). They cut four seconds off the former record time of 6:42.74 set by Liberty in 2023.
One of the most exciting events of the session was the men’s 100 breaststroke. In the event prelims, Alex Seybold swam 53.28 to come in under the former CCS and meet record time of 54.01 set by Jayson Hansen in 2019.
In the final, Kent State’s Richard Kurlich swam the top time of 53.34, earning the gold medal and beating Seybold’s 53.39 by just five hundredths. Seybold will still hold the record, though, since neither swimmer broke his prelims record of 53.28. Cal Poly’s Sam Seybold was 3rd in 53.82.
There was one record set on the women’s side as well with North Georgia’s Meagan Davis swimming the women’s 100 breaststroke in 1:02.33 to win the final by more than a second over Cal Poly’s Melia Costa. Davis took almost a second off her prelims record time of 1:03.23 and more than a second off the former CCS and meet record time of 1:03.37 set by Kasey Venn in 2023.
