Minnesota Swimming: Max McHugh Wins 4th NCAA Championship

Max McHugh forever put his name at the top of the Minnesota Gophers record books on Friday night when he won the 100 meter breaststroke at the 2023 NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships in his home pool. McHugh becomes the fourth Gopher in history to win four individual NCAA Championships, and the fourth in school history to three-peat an NCAA Individual Championship. McHugh also won the 2021 and 2022 100 meter breaststroke events. McHugh won the 2021 200 meter breaststroke as well, and will have a chance to try and avenge his second place finish in the event in 2022 on Saturday night to try and become the Gophers fourth ever 5-time NCAA Champion.
