MEN’S 400 IM:
- Pro Swim Series Record: Chase Kalisz, 4:09.43, Atlanta 2017
- GOLD: Chase Kalisz, 4:10.80
- SILVER: Anton Ipsen, 4:19.27
- BRONZE: Tristan Cote, 4:20.93
World Champions Chase Kalisz raced to a new Pool Record to win his signature 400 IM, finishing just over a second shy of his own Pro Swim Series Record. His 4:10.80 tonight cleared his own former Pool Record of 4:11.51. Kalisz was head and shoulders above the field, dominating by over 8 seconds as Anton Ipsen was the only other swimmer to break 4:20. Ipsen and bronze medalist Tristan Cote were within a few tenths of each other until Ipsen pulled ahead on the free leg. Daniel Sos (4:22.01) and Jacob Foster (4:23.72) battled for the 4th place spot, with Sos using his closing freestyle speed to get the job done.
I would like to see him do s’more 100s of stroke and 200 free at least in these training meets. I feel like as far as the 800 freelay is concerned I’d rather have Chase over Zane as well. And Townley and Jack and Remel.
Can’t wait for phelps 4IM record to go down this summer
Dean Farris won’t be swimming that race.
