Clark Smith (TXLA) racked up two more wins on the final night of the 2019 KMSC Pro-Am. Smith put up a 14:54.26 in the mile. He also won the 100 free in 44.21.

Smith, who has had recurring Atrial Fibrilation over the past several years, underwent a heart ablation procedure on March 12th, 2018. Smith’s procedure was a catheter ablation, which is when thin wires are inserted in the neck or groin and then threaded through a vein into the heart. This is part of a process that can stop abnormal heart functions and address larger heart-related issues.
