Arizona State University (ASU) secured its first NCAA Championship in men's swimming in 2024, marking a historic victory for the school. The Sun Devils, under the guidance of coach Bob Bowman, achieved a dominant win with 523.5 points, significantly outperforming the second-place team, Cal, which scored 444.5 points, and Florida in third with 378 points. This victory comes after the team's second-place finish the previous year. Shortly after this achievement, Bob Bowman announced his departure from ASU to join the University of Texas as the director of swimming and diving, a newly created position where he will serve as the head men's swimming and diving coach. Carol Capitani will continue as the head women's swimming and diving coach at Texas.
