Alabama fielded a loaded backstroke group on Friday night at the 2017 SEC Championships that included Connor Oslin, Luke Kaliszak, and Christopher Reid. In a close battle to the finish with teammate Kaliszak, Oslin managed to earn his 3rd consecutive SEC title in the event, doing so in record fashion with his 44.73. His time took down the previous SEC Meet Record of 45.19 set by U.S. Olympian Ryan Lochte at the 2005 SEC Championships.

Kaliszak had the early lead in the race, taking it out in a 21.34 to Oslin’s 21.48. Oslin made his move on the back half, however, churning out a 23.25 on the 2nd 50 to Kaliszak’s 23.69.
