Phillips, O'Haimhirgin, Stoddard and Moreira set new mark in 200 free relay
FEDERAL WAY, Wash. - The Utah men's swimming team saw another relay record fall on a successful evening at the Pac-12 Championships.
Austin Phillips, Liam O'Haimhirgin, Clay Stoddard and Rodolfo Moreira took third place in the 200 free relay with a time of 1:17.11, breaking a record set earlier this year. They became the second Utah relay to ever reach the podium at the conference's showcase event.
"I am really excited for the guys," head coach Joe Dykstra said. "We had a lot of great times today to go along with another school record in the relay. It was Utah's first relay to make a podium in five years and that one was aided by a disqualification."
The four Utes were back at it in the 50 free. Phillips took fifth overall with the second fastest-time in Utah history (19.43) and O'Haimhirgin swam a NCAA provisional time of 19.74 to take 12th. Moreira finished 15th in 19.92 while Stoddard was in the "C" final and swam a NCAA provisional time of 19.89. Felix Chiun also qualified for the "C" final this evening with a swim of 20.18 in prelims.
The Utes also impressed in the 500 free with Rahiti De Vos finishing in the top 10 with the second-fastest time in Utah history (4:16.27). Nick Becker swam the third-fastest time in Ute history during the prelims (4:18.46) and would eventually take 12th. Tyler Klawiter (4:24.49) and Robert King (4:24.59) were also able to notch top-10 times while competing in the "C" final.
Daniel McArthur was the top Utah swimmer in the 200 IM, placing 12th in 1:44.87. Ethan Dillard qualified for the evening finals with a 1:48.50 in prelims, but did not compete. Instead, Ben Waterman moved into the "C" final and finished in 1:49.79
After two evenings of competition, Utah sits sixth overall with 169 points, just seven behind No. 10 USC
Action continues tomorrow with the 400 IM, 100 fly, 200 free, 100 breast, 100 back and 400 medley relay. Coverage of Day Three will air at 6:30 p.m. PT/7:30 p.m. MT on Pac-12 Los Angeles, Pac-12 Washington, Pac-12 Arizona and Pac-12 Mountain.
