ATLANTA, Ga. – The Kentucky men’s swimming and diving team wrapped up the first day of competition at the 2022 NCAA Men’s Swimming and Diving Championships at the McAuley Aquatic Center in Atlanta, Georgia, placing 17th in the 800 free relay.
Max Berg (1:33.86), Mason Wilby (1:33.61), Victor Martin Roig (1:34.68) and Jakob Clark (1:34.11) combined to turn in a final time of 6:16.26. It marked the first time since 2010 the Wildcat men have qualified to race the 800 free relay at the national meet.
