That included a 1:47.06 in the 200 free from University of Virginia swimmer David King, which was part of a really good couple of sessions for the Cavalier men. The rising junior is a member of the US National Team in the 200 back, but this 200 free is a huge leap forward for him this season. In long course, his best time coming into the year was a 1:49.03 from another time trial at last year’s National Championship meet.

The 200 free event proper conflicts with the 200 back on the US Nationals schedule, which is why King keeps swimming it in time trials.
