2022 World Short Course Championships

Urlando was named to his first World Short Course Championships team in October, with USA Swimming selecting him for a 200-meter butterfly spot for the 2022 World Short Course Championships, held in December in Melbourne, Australia. In December, USA Swimming updated the roster, removing him and adding Trenton Julian in his place.[73] The decision by USA Swimming to remove him from the roster followed a shoulder injury he received in November, the month after the roster announcement and the month before the Championships, that immobilized him from competing during the rest of the collegiate season (through March 2023, which included the year's Southeastern Conference Championships and NCAA Championships) as he underwent surgery and recovered.[72] He continued on his studies at the University of Georgia, performing well enough both in school and in the pool for the meets he competed in to be one of 355 student-athletes named to the honor roll for the autumn 2022 term.[74]
