Jake Taylor earned first-team All-America honors in the 100-yard backstroke at the NCAA Men’s Swimming and Diving Championships on Friday at the McAuley Aquatic Center in Atlanta.
"Jake was very impressive today, and I'm very proud of him," BYU head coach John Brooks said. "For him to come back in the finals and hold his fourth-place spot was very impressive. He is a racer and he doesn't like to lose. He did what he had to do to be fourth in the country, and he is an All-American, which is extremely exciting. We are hoping that he can come back and make the finals again tomorrow.
