Switch proves big Gaines for Auburn freshman swimmer
Auburn freshman Ambrose Gaines upset the 50 yard freestyle at the NCAA championships, clocking 19.99 seconds to edge John Newton and Andrew Coan. Gaines, who switched from the 500, had trained little for the 50 and surprised himself with the win. Cal-Berkeley set an NCAA record in the 400 yard medley relay, and UCLA topped the 500 free.
