Day 3 had A LOT of excitement and perhaps the Swim of the Year! Michigan's Maggie MacNeil torched a 48.89 100 Butterfly to become the first woman ever to break the 49-second barrier and bring home Michigan's first NCAA Title in the event. NC State solidifies their spot in 2nd place behind Virginia after a trio of NCAA championships to bring home to Raleigh. Sophie Hansson got things going by winning the 100 Breast (57.23) and was followed up by Katherine Berkoff in the 100 Backstroke (49.74) for NC State's second win of the night. To close out the evening, the quartet of Berkoff, Hansson, Rowe, and Alons took down Virginia in a wire-to-wire victory in the 200 Medley Relay (1:33.18). At DII NCAA's Queens holds a comfortable lead on both the men's and women's sides and we will see if they can close it out for the win on Day 4.

This is day two of our March Madness NCAA updates. At the DII champs after a stormy day 1 the teams are back and ready to go. Drury takes down a few national records and Karol Ostrowski becomes the first Division II swimmer in history to break 19-seconds in the 50 freestyle.

Aaron Peirsol is a multi-time Olympic Champion and currently holds the world record in the 200 Meter Backstroke. Aaron had a storied career as one of the most talented backstrokers in history after competing for Team USA at the international level for over 10 years. Peirsol attended the University of Texas and trained under coach Eddie Reese for two years before signing with Nike and becoming a professional athlete. During that time Aaron still stayed on track to finish his degree in Political Science and also continued to train with his great college coaches, Eddie Reese and Kris Kubik. Peirsol qualified for his first Olympic team in 2000 at age 17 and was one of the younger members of Team USA other than Michael Phelps who was only 15 at the time. Aaron would win his first Olympic medal at the Sydney Olympics in 2000 by finishing second in the 200 back and his career would go on to skyrocket from that point. In 2004, Aaron was a triple gold medalist taking home the ultimate hardware in both backstroke events as well as the 4 x 100 Medley Relay. Aaron had another great showing at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing and again won the 100 backstroke in addition to being a member of the 4 x 100 Medley Relay again. In 2011, Aaron hung up the cap and goggles and ended his swimming career with a lot to be proud of. Check out our interview with Aaron as he explains what it took to reach the highest level in the sport he loved.
