Jacob Hamlin Rebouts NCAA D2 record in 500 Free back on Friday

2025 NCAA Division II Swimming & Diving Championship

Tampa in the second year Jacob Hamlin Continued his tear through the record books of NCAA Division II 4: 14.62 in the 500 Free on Friday evening. This crushes the old NCAA record of 4: 16.15, the Uindy's Cedric Buessing Set at the GLVC championships in February.

The record was 4: 17.09 at 4: 17.09 since 2016, as Queens' Dion dreessens won the NCAA D2 title. Hamlin broke for the first time with a 4: 16.84 center of the season, Buessing received it at the conference, and now Hamlin put up the finishing touches of the season and knocked another second and half of the brand.

Buessing did not swim the event on Friday; He swam well to take the 2nd place behind Hamlin on Wednesday, but allegedly got sick before the 400 -Im on Thursday and declared a false start in the preliminary runs of the 500 Free on Friday.

Slap comparison:

Hamlin improved in many phases of the race-all 100-yard split, apart from the last one, was faster than in the middle of the seasonal and fourth divisions made the difference.

Hamlin had a good freshman season for Tampa, which swimmed the best times in the 500 and 1000 free time, but his second season really did the gas. In addition to winning the 1000 Free in a D2 record at the beginning of this week, he also reached 1: 33.38 to win over 200 free in a close fight against McKendree Volodymyr Gavrysh.

He still has the 1650 Free Bening for Saturday. It is more than 16 seconds in this race in this race, and while he added time to the NCAA in this current form last year in this event, he appears well positioned so that he does not add time this year. He also broke the NCAA D2 record in this race in the middle of the season.
