Team Notes
• The Wolverines went 3-1 in dual meets during the first half of the season, scoring wins over Navy (225-75), Miami University (253-45) and Iowa (218-82). Their lone loss came to Indiana, 165-135, on Nov. 2 in Bloomington. Michigan finished second at the Minnesota Invite (Dec. 4-7 in Minneapolis), accruing 54 NCAA standards, then went on a week-long training trip in south Florida over the holidays.
• After its performance at the Minnesota Invite, Michigan moved up two spots to No. 3 in the latest CSCAA/TYR Top 25 rankings (Dec. 11). [ Rankings ]
• After four days at the Minnesota Invite, eight swimmers either recorded NCAA 'A' cuts or posted times underneath last year's invited line for the NCAA Championships. Seniors Jeremy Babinet and Tommy Cope picked up NCAA 'A' cuts, while Felix Auböck, Luiz Gustavo Borges, Patrick Callan, Will Chan, Will Roberts and Charlie Swanson all got under last year's invited time in at least one event. Additionally, the 800-yard freestyle relay and 200-yard medley relay each met the NCAA 'A' standard, while the other three relays (the 200- and 400-yard freestyle relays, 400-yard medley relay) picked up NCAA 'B' cuts.
• Senior Jeremy Babinet and sophomore Will Chan posted breakout swims on Dec. 6 at the Minnesota Invite. Coming into this week, only three men in school history had cracked 52 seconds in the 100-yard breaststroke: Richard Funk (51.41 in 2015), Bruno Ortiz (51.68 in 2015) and Jacob Montague (51.80 in 2018). Babinet went 51.63, surpassing Ortiz for second in school history, while Chan went 51.91, now fifth in school history. Six of the top 10 performers in program history are on the 2019-20 roster: Babinet (2nd), Jacob Montague (4th), Chan (5th), Tommy Cope (6th), Mason Hunter (9th) and Charlie Swanson (10th).
• Sophomore Patrick Callan is primed for a big second half after setting three career bests at the Minnesota Invite. He moved up to No. 4 in school history in the 200-yard freestyle (1:32.91, No. 3 in the NCAA this season) and to No. 7 in the 500-yard freestyle (4:12.29, No. 4 in the NCAA this season).
• Divers Ross Todd, Jake Herremans and Chris Canning have picked up NCAA Zone Diving qualifying scores on all three events so far this season. Freshman Kevin Bradley also has qualified for the meet, making the cut on one-meter.
