Welcome to the day two finals session of the 2026 Men’s NCAA Division I Championships. This morning’s session was already electric, an it opened with a new NCAA record swim from Florida senior Josh Liendo in the 100 butterfly.
Liendo swam 42.54 in prelims, and he will be trying to lower his own record tonight as he tries to win his 3rd straight title in the event. He might see tight competition from Texas senior Hubert Kos, who was also sub-43 this morning, swimming 42.97 to qualify 2nd.
In the 400 IM, Cal freshman Ryan Erisman swam the top time in prelims of 3:36.56, but there is a Texas storm behind him with last year’s champion Rex Maurer and Baylor Nelson, who has the top time in the NCAA this season.
The 200 free will see Tennessee’s Koby Bujak-Upton as the top seed after he had a very strong relay leadoff leg of 1:29.69 last night. He swam 1:30.67 in prelims to touch just a tenth ahead of Ohio State’s Tomas Navikonis.
In the 100 breaststroke, there will be three Texas Longhorns in the ‘A’ final with Nate Germonprez and Campbell McKean taking the top two seeds. Germonprez will be shooting for the NCAA record tonight, swimming just over three tenths off Julian Smith‘s 49.51 mark to touch in 49.80 in prelims.
The meet will wrap up with the 200 freestyle relay, where the Arizona State Sun Devils are the top seeds in 1:12.98. The Texas Longhorns are the current leaders after the prelims session, where they swam 1:14.40.
