On Friday it was the 200 IM. Twenty-four hours later, Hugo Gonzalez knocked off another Auburn school record, smashing the field in winning the 400 IM on night two of the Georgia Invitational.
Gonzalez, a freshman, sliced through the water in 3:39.28 to win the 400 IM by three-quarters of a second and obliterate Joe Patching’s school record of 3:41.79 from 2016.
“Our men were strong from top to bottom tonight but none better than Hugo posting the fastest 400 IM time in the country and breaking the Auburn school record,” Auburn coach Brett Hawke said.
