Haas, Schooling help Texas keep pace for 12th national title
ATLANTA (AP) Townley Haas set a U.S. record in the 200-yard freestyle and Singapore's Joseph Schooling broke a national mark in the 100 butterfly Friday to help Texas build on its commanding lead in the NCAA swimming and diving championships.
The Longhorns, going for their second straight national title and 12th overall, had 366 points - 95 ahead of California. Florida was third with 255.
Haas, the only freshman racing in the 200 freestyle, finished in 1:30.46 to set NCAA and American records. He was 0.74 faster than the previous record set by Arizona's Simon Burnett 10 years ago. Haas won the 500 free on Thursday.
Schooling defended his title in the 100 fly in 44.01, topping Austin Staab's 2009 NCAA and U.S. open record for Stanford by 0.17.
