BYU’s eight entries include three from Jordan Tiffany, two from Brad Prolo and a school-record three relay teams. The Cougars’ eight entries at the 2024 NCAA Championships are the program’s most since 1998 and an all-time high for solely swimming entries. 

Jordan Tiffany, Brad Prolo, Tanner Edwards and Luigi Riva makeup BYU’s first-ever 200 medley relay squad to qualify for nationals. The foursome finished second at Big 12 Championships with a school-record 1:23.67 and ranks 21st nationally ahead of teams from Navy, Texas A&M and Pitt.

Tiffany, Prolo, Edwards and Riva will also race for the Cougars in the 400 medley relay. The BYU squad earned their school record and provisional standard qualifying time of 3:06.70 in November 2023 at the Mizzou Invitational. BYU’s last 400 medley relay squad to reach nationals came in 1968 with Jess Allen, Steve Schroeter, Fred Baird and Tom Fairbank finishing 17th.

Tiffany, Diego Camacho Salgado, Joshua Reed and Riva combine to form the Cougars’ third relay team in Indianapolis. The BYU squad clocked a school-record 2:51.35 to finish runner-up in the Big 12 title race. This marks the program’s first season with a relay team at nationals since the 400 free relay squad of Brett Allen, Chris Patience, Jorge Azevedo and Travis Price finished 15th in 2007. The only other BYU 400 free relay team to qualify for nationals did so in 1978.

BYU's eight overall entries rank second in the Big 12 ahead of Cincinnati's three and none from both TCU and West Virginia. No. 8 Texas led the league with 28 entries, 16 of which are in swimming events.
