...Lezak's 100m leg of 46.06 seconds was the fastest among all 32 legs in the race, and while Bernard swam a faster first 50m, Lezak, who also picked up the anchor leg for the U.S. in the last two Olympics, caught up in stunning fashion and motored to the wall. Going into Lezak's 100m, the French were .59 second ahead. It might have helped, too, that Lezak was able to see Bernard all the way down the last lap.

...Clarke, who re-set her own school records in the 1000 and 1650 freestyle, wound up in 21st in her signature event, the 1650, at NCAAs. “I was a little disappointed in my performance,” Clarke said after the event. “I swam faster at our meet in Georgia [in December] and at Ivies.” Papadakis finished her Harvard career in style, notching her highest-ever NCAA finish—17th place in the 3-meter event, just one place shy of becoming an All-American. She won the 1-meter...
