Swim-off: Texas’ Kyle Peck took a completely different strategy with this swim by prioritizing the back half as opposed to the front half like he did on the first swim. But he ran out of pool space and couldn’t make up the ~1s gap he had at the halfway mark. Ultimately Stanford’s Josh Zuchowski edged out Ohio State’s Cornelius Jahn by 0.01. The 200back is a really painful event. Having to kick upward (as opposed to downward for freestyle) is just way more tiring on the legs and I don’t envy that these gentlemen raced it a second time within the hour, and for Zuchowski, having to it a 3rd time today will be brutal.

Either way, Texas is just 2/0 in this event.
