Texas wins the men's DMR
Jonathan Tannenwald, Philly.com
I missed the times because I was standing under the scoreboard, but Texas just won the men's college distance medley Championship of America. Stanford was second and Villanova was third.
I'll post times later, but it was close going right into the final stretch, when Texas finally pulled away.
UPDATE: Texas (Erik Stanley, Danzell Fortson, Jacob Hernandez and Leonel Manzano) finished in 9:32.89; Stanford (Garrett Heath, Andrew Dargie, Michael Garcia and Russell Brown) in 9:33.16; and Villanova (Michael Kerrigan, Garrett Kroner, Sean Tully and Robert Curtis) in 9:34.39.
It was the Longhorns' third consecutive men's college DMR title.
