Robinson Finishes Fifth to Lead Seminoles on Final Day of NCAAs

ATLANTA – Sophomore Logan Robinson finished fifth in the 200 butterfly and sophomore Carlos Vargas placed 16th on platform as the No. 13 Florida State swimming and diving team concluded competition at the 2026 Division I Men's Swimming and Diving Championships at McAuley Aquatic Center in Atlanta.
Robinson and Vargas helped Florida State to a 25th-place finish with 40 points. It's the program's third consecutive top-25 finish at the NCAA Championships, its longest stretch since an eight-year run from 2007-14.
"It was a really good last day," FSU head coach Neal Studd said. "Logan Robinson earning fifth was amazing and Carlos Vargas scoring on platform was great too. The guys had a good week, with some adversity that we pushed through as a team. I'm proud of them and am particularly proud of our three senior guys, Tommaso Baravelli, Utku Kurtdere and Max Wilson, and all they have done for this program."
After placing fourth in prelims, Robinson recorded a time of 1:39.44 in the 200 butterfly final to earn All-America honors, awarded to the top 16 finishers. His fifth-place finish is the best for the FSU men since the 200 and 400 freestyle relays both were fifth in 2019.
Robinson's performance also marks the best individual finish by a Florida State men's swimmer or diver since Pavel Sankovich was the runner-up in the 100 butterfly in 2014, which also was the last time Florida State recorded a top-five finish in a butterfly event at the national meet. Additionally, today's swim stands as the program's best 200 butterfly finish, men's or women's, since Stephen Parry placed third in 1999.
Vargas added an All-America honor on platform, finishing 16th with a score of 349.90.
In the 100 freestyle, senior Max Wilson placed 40th with a time of 43.04, while sophomore Michel Arkhangelsky touched the wall in 43.33 to finish 41st.
Over the four-day meet, the Seminoles recorded one top-eight finish and earned five All-America honors. Eight student-athletes represented Florida State, including seniors Tommaso Baravelli, Utku Kurtdere and Max Wilson, who closed out their collegiate careers.
The NCAA Championships mark the end of the 2025-26 season for the FSU swimming and diving team.
