Tyler Grafmiller<\/a> has announced he will transfer to Division II Tampa for the upcoming 2026-2027 season. Grafmiller spent his freshman season at Georgia.<\/p>\n

Originally from Texas, Grafmiller arrived at Georgia last fall. He closed his season at the 2026 SEC Championships where he was highlighted by a lifetime best 47.95 in the 100 butterfly to finish 43rd. He also finished 60th in the 50 free (20.74) and 70th in the 100 free (44.87).<\/p>\n

He dropped almost half a second in the 100 fly during his freshman season as he arrived at Georgia with a lifetime best 48.43 from 2024 Winter Juniors. He first swam a lifetime best 47.98 at the team\u2019s dual meet against Emory before lowering it once again at SECs.<\/p>\n

Grafmiller\u2019s Best SCY Times Are:<\/p>\n

100 fly: 47.95
\n200 fly: 1:50.41
\n50 free: 20.25
\n100 free: 44.40<\/p>\n

The Tampa men captured the 2026 NCAA Division II Championship as the team scored 522.5 points to finish just ahead of Druryr\u2019s 509 points. Distance freestyler Jacob Hamlin<\/a> led the way for the team with 74 individual points including a win in the 500 free with a 4:14.35.<\/p>\n

Based on his best times, Grafmiller is just off what it took to earn an NCAA invite this past season. It took a 47.50 in the 100 fly, 1:47.25 200 fly, 19.85 50 free, and a 43.86 100 free. William Beckstead-Holman<\/a> led the team in the 100 fly with a 46.46 lifetime best that earned him a 4th place finish at NCAAs. Tibor Tistan<\/a> also made the NCAA \u2018A\u2019 final in the 100 fly as he was 6th in a 46.58. Both were seniors this past season, making Grafmiller\u2019s arrival this fall key to fill the gap.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tyler Grafmiller has announced he will transfer to Division II Tampa for the upcoming 2026-2027 season.
