Hugo Gonzalez came to swim this weekend.
The freshman phenom took down not one, not two, but three of Auburn’s swimming records during this weekend’s Georgia Invitational in Athens, Ga., knocking off the program’s 200 IM mark on Friday, the 400 IM mark on Saturday and the 200 backstroke on Sunday.
All in a weekend’s of untapered and unshaved work.
Gonzalez went a national-best 1:39.05 in the finals of the 200 back Sunday afternoon to break Pascal Wollach’s school record of 1:39.65 that stood since the 2009 NCAA Championships. That was on the heels of his 200 IM mark of 1:42.
