Kos Shatters NCAA Record in 100 Backstroke

Texas senior Hubert Kos annihilated his own NCAA record in the 100 backstroke, winning the national title with a time that made him the first male swimmer ever to break 43 seconds in the 100 yard backstroke. The Hungarian led from start to finish, establishing a commanding lead with his opening 25 split.

The performance was a significant boost for Texas, which maintains a narrow 9.5-point lead over Florida heading into the final day of competition. Meanwhile, Florida's Josh Liendo won the 50 freestyle title, continuing the intense rivalry between the two schools.
