It's tough to pick just one Leon Marchand race from last week's record-breaking barrage, but his 400 IM victory in 3:28.82 was in a different stratosphere.
Lasco finished in a time of 1:35.87 to undercut his previous lifetime best and inch ever closer to the seven-year-old American Record held by Ryan Murphy.
Marchand used a blistering first 100 of 50.65 to ultimately claim another NCAA Record in the 200 breast, becoming the first swimmer under 1:47.
Marchand continued his demolition derby in the pool on Friday by wiping out the 400 IM NCAA and U.S. Open Record of 3:31.57 in 3:28.82.
Lasco's time knocks three one-hundredths off the five-year-old American Record set by Caeleb Dressel at the 2018 SEC Championships.
