Minnesota Gophers senior swimmer Max McHugh entered the NCAA Championships with a chance to add a pair of NCAA Championships to the two he won in 2021. Mission halfway accomplished. McHugh defended his NCAA Championship in the 100 breaststroke Friday night winning in the second fastest time ever recorded by a NCAA swimmer. After becoming just the second person ever to go under 50 seconds in the event in Friday morning’s prelims at 49.95, McHugh went even lower and touched at 49.90. He now has three individual NCAA Championships and will go for the double repeat Saturday in the 200 breaststroke.
