FEDERAL WAY, Wash. – The No. 19 Florida State men’s swimming and diving team concluded the NCAA Championships with another school record on Saturday night in Federal Way, Washington.
Freshman Logan Robinson broke his own record in the 200 butterfly to cap the four-day national championships for the Seminoles at the Weyerhauser King County Aquatic Center.
As a team, FSU placed 18th overall with 54 points, its best finish since coming in 14th in 2019, which also was the team’s last top-20 showing. This year is the third time the Seminoles have placed in the top 20 nationally since 2014.
“What a great performance from Logan today, I am really excited for him,” FSU head coach Neal Studd said. “It’s disappointing we just missed out on scoring in that last relay, but the guys were amazing this week and have done us all proud with a great team finish.”
As Robinson placed 11th in the final to conclude his first NCAA Championships, he finished in 1:40.23. He topped his previous program record of 1:40.34, and Saturday’s swim was the third time Robinson set the FSU record in the event. Prior to Robinson’s arrival on campus this season, the previous all-time mark had stood since 2015.
In the prelims, Robinson also was 11th in 1:40.51. It was a tightly-contested preliminary race that saw 10 swimmers finish within one second of each other for the final two spots in the top-eight A final.
Florida State’s 400 freestyle relay was 17th overall with a time of 2:49.00. Freshman Michel Arkhangelskiy, fifth-year Mason Herbet, junior Max Wilson and fifth-year Yordan Yanchev capped the weekend for the Seminoles, as the FSU men earned entries in all five relays at the national championships.
Also in Saturday’s prelims, Arkhangelskiy was 23rd in the 200 backstroke in 1:39.89. Junior Tommaso Baravelli finished 26th in the 200 breaststroke in 1:53.15 and freshman Carlos Vargas was 33rd on platform with 280.95 points.
This weekend’s NCAA Championships concludes the 2024-25 season for the FSU swimming and diving team.
