Longhorns lap competition at NCAAs, claim 12th national title

ATLANTA — Seemingly no records were safe at this year’s NCAA men’s swimming and diving championships — especially from Eddie Reese and his Texas Longhorns.

Texas won its second consecutive NCAA title Saturday, and Reese claimed his 12th overall, surpassing Ohio State’s Mike Peppe for sole possession of first place on the all-time list of coaches.

“I’m honored to break Mike Peppe’s record because I swam in his 11th win in 1962 at Ohio State,” Reese said.

Longhorns Will Licon and Joseph Schooling saved their best performances for the final night, as they crushed existing NCAA records while defending their titles in the 200-yard breaststroke and 200 butterfly, respectively. The latter race was of particular interest as Schooling edged out teammate Jack Conger in the final 50 yards en route to a blazing finishing time of one minute, 37.97 seconds.[/font]
