In a preliminary stunner, defending champion Clark Smith of Texas went out a bit too fast and could not hang on as he took 21st in the men’s 500-yard free at the 2016 NCAA Division I Men’s Championships.
Smith, who clinched the NCAA title last year with a 4:09.72, added more than seven seconds to his time from last year with a 4:17.17 to miss finals completely. Â It will be up to Townley Haas to defend the title for Texas as the super freshman qualified third in 4:12.68. Haas is on fire so far this meet, posting the fastest 200-yard free split of all time last night with a 1:30.52.
Florida’s Mitch D’Arrigo topped qualifying with a time of 4:11.48. Â D’Arrigo, who is the 14th-fastest swimmer ever in the event, is looking to become just the third Gator ever to win the event.
