Out of the post-session 1500 free heat, Cornando’s Cole Ruster swam a time of 16:04.33 to place 7th overall.
Jordan will get at least one medal this summer. My predictions are second in the 1500 and gold in the 10k. You heard it here first.
He was so close to the bronze in Rio, he is one of the hardest working, coolest guys out there with tremendous talent
Close in the 1500, SO close in the 10k
Very deep
