NCAA Men’s Championships: Hubert Kos Surges to NCAA Record in 100 Backstroke

The NCAA record in the 100 backstroke looked to be under fire after a few prelims swims were a half second away at the 2025 NCAA Division I Men’s Swimming and Diving Championships in Federal Way, Washington.

Florida’s Jonny Marshall was the top seed from the season and kept that top seed heading into finals.

In the final, Marshall turned in 20.70 to hold a narrow lead after the first 50.

But Texas’s Hubert Kos threw down a tremendous second half of the race to in in an NCAA record 43.20. Kos is two-for-two after winning the 200 IM.

“These are the situations you have to train for,” Kos said in the on-deck interview. “Bob Bowman really prepares us for this. I am pretty happy with that.”

Marshall ended up with the second-fastest time in history with a 43.22.

Both passed the previous NCAA record set by Georgia’s Luca Urlando, who set it in 2022 leading off the medley relay for the Bulldogs.

Georgia’s Ruard Van Renen took third in 43.85.

Cal went 4-5 with Mewen Tomac (43.94) and Destin Lasco (44.10).

Indiana’s Owen McDonald was sixth (44.16), followed by Texas’ Will Modglin (44.17) and Army’s Johnny Crush (45.07).

Tennessee’s Harrison Lierz won the consolation final in 44.40, edging Virginia Tech’s Youssef Ramadan (44.72), who was on the second half of his double after finaling in the 100 butterfly.
