Joining him in Federal Way is Peyton Donald and Conor Gesing, who both qualified in the one-meter and three-meter springboard events.

RETURNING INDIVIDUAL AND RELAY CHAMPIONS

Liendo earned Florida’s three individual titles after sweeping his events, winning the 50 free, 100 free and 100 fly to become one of six in NCAA Men’s Swimming Championships history – and first since 1996 – to win three individual titles and swim on at least two championship relays teams.
