Ahmed Jaouadi breaks a NCAA record and Florida, Indiana share Day 1 lead at
swimming championships
ATLANTA (AP) --- Florida freshman Ahmed Jaouadi broke a NCAA record in the
1,650-yard freestyle and the Gators shared the Day 1 lead with Indiana at the
Division I swimming and diving championships on Wednesday.
Jaouadi denied Indiana senior Zaln Srkny a three-peat with a time of
14:10.03 to break former Gator Bobby Finke's long-standing NCAA record. Srkny
recorded the fastest 1,000 freestyle in collegiate swimming history, splitting
an 8:33.10 during a runner-up performance.
Florida and Indiana are tied atop the team standing with 86 points, followed by
Texas with 72.
Jonny Kulow brought home the title for Arizona State in the 200 medley relay
with a time of 1:20.07. Florida, after setting a new NCAA record at the SEC
championships, secured the runner-up and the Longhorns took third.
Texas won the 800 freestyle relay after Rafael Fente-Damers, Camden Taylor, Rex
Maurer and Baylor Nelson touched first with a time of 6:05.82.
The four-day event at the McAuley Aquatic Center continues on Thursday with the
100 butterfly, 400 individual medley, 200 freestyle, 100 breaststroke, 1-meter
diving and the 200 freestyle relay.
