In his first season, Sampaio earned NCAA Men’s

behind Cal State Bakersfield, which won its third consecutive title.
The 22-point margin was the closest margin of victory since 1983.
Under Sampaio’s tutelage, Rodrigo

individual champion, winning the 1650 freestyle in an NCAA-record time of
15:07.80.
