Jack Conger – Texas Longhorns (courtesy of Tim Binning)
Ryan Murphy and Jacob Pebley looked great through the front half, leading out Matt Grevers through the 100. Ryan Murphy was able to hold on to the back half of his race like his teammate, Josh Prenot, was able to do in the 400 IM. California just spent some time in Colorado training in altitude. Murphy finished first with his time of 1:56.91, followed by Matt Grevers at 1:57.43 for second. Jacob Pebley added a third place finish with his time of 1:58.47.
Jack Conger finished fourth at 1:59.94 and Jonathan Roberts was fifth at 2:00.13.
Nice swim by Murphy, but I was more impressed with Grevers’ 200 back!
A good proof of great shape.
Murphy is also very impressive physically ! Very solid 200 back from Grevers .

Can’t wait to see his 100 back tonight.
He showed a great speed on day 1 in the 100 free.
he was pretty impressive on that 100 free , so surprising ! there are a lot of young swimmers in Usa showing incredible ability to be good in other strokes .
yeah ryan, go get a tattoo!!
