Technically, this is the third day of the meet, as divers have competed over the past two days, but tonight will be the first session featuring competition in the pool.
We’ll only see relays tonight, but those should provide plenty of excitement for swim fans. The session will begin with timed finals of the 200 medley relay. The Virginia women’s team may not be able to replicate their own NCAA record in that event (or the 800 free relay) from last year, but they’ve still got plenty of depth and should hold on to their top seed, even against a strong Stanford squad.
The men’s side feels a lot more open on both relays. Florida State has been on fire so far this season, and the Seminoles hold the top seed with a 1:22.23 from midseason. But the Cal Bears are seeded only a tenth of a second behind them and are the defending champions, and NC State is always dangerous in this event. Keep an eye out for Aiden Hayes — while he’s usually known more for his butterfly prowress, he set the all-time record in the 50 back leading off this relay at NCAAs two years ago.
Florida State also has the top seed in the 800 free relay (6:10.65), but again, this race feels wide open. Look out for Cal to dominate the first heat, as the Bears are only seeded 10th. The second heat features Florida State, NC State, Stanford, Louisville and Virginia all in the middle of the pool, and all of those teams should feature top-notch 200 freestylers, depending on how coaches choose to construct their lineups.
We’ll also have finals of the diving platform events. Stanford freshman Ellie Cole and Cal’s Geoff Vavitsas come into tonight as the top seeds after this morning’s prelims.
