Day Two Results

DALLAS – SMU men's swimming and diving put together another outstanding performance for the second night in a row at the American Athletic Conference Championships. A handful of SMU swimmers took home medals including freshman Cotton Fields in his record-breaking swim.

Robby King got the night started for the Mustangs, taking home the silver in the 500 freestyle final. King posted a B Standard time of 4:22.41.

The 200 IM proved to be one of the most exciting races of the night as Fields pulled off an incredible victory, finishing just ahead of teammates Jack Easton and Colin Feehery. The first-year Mustang set a meet record with his time of 1:44.63. All three of SMU's top finishers hit NCAA B marks.

SMU Junior, Justin Baker defended his title in the 50 freestyle with a B Standard time of 19.66. Cole Bruns (20.03) took the silver, while Lance Butler and Riley Hill tied for bronze at 20.09. This was a career best for Hill. Charlie Kaye and Joe Rusnock also set career bests in the race.

The Mustangs finished the night with a bang, winning the 200 free relay title with a meet record time of 1:18.19. Baker, Bruns, Lance Butler, and Hill were crowned champions for SMU.

After the second night of competition, SMU leads the Bearcats 439-328. The AAC Championships will continue tomorrow at 10:00 a.m. on ESPN+ at the Robson & Lindley Aquatics Center and Barr-McMillion Natatorium with swimming and diving prelims.
