Men's Swimming's Hobson breaks his own world record in 200 freestyle

BUDAPEST – Luke Hobson of the No. 1 Texas Men's Swim and Dive program broke his own world record in the 200 freestyle on the final day of the 2024 Short Course World Championships.

Hobson set the world record in the 200 free on Friday with a time of 1:38.91 as part of the 4x200 free gold medal winning team. He outdid himself just two days later after he won his first individual title at a World Championship meet with his time of 1:38.61.

The All-American left the meet with three world records – the 200 free, 4x100 free and 4x200 free relays for Team USA.
