MEN’S 200 IM – FINALS
- Josh Prenot, California, 1:59.51
- Marton Barta, SwimAtlanta, 2:03.80
- Mark Szarankek, Gators, 2:04.22
Josh Prenot picked up his second win of the meet, after winning the 200 breast yesterday. His time of 1:59.51 is his second-fastest in-season time ever, and would have placed him only about half a second behind Ryan Lochte at the Charlotte Pro Series swim going on at almost exactly the same time. 16 year-old Marton Barta of the hometown SwimAtlanta team placed 2nd here with a 2:03.80, followed by Mark Szaranek in 2:04.22. The winner of tonight’s 1500, Sean Grieshop, placed 9th in 2:07.23.
1:59:51 in the 200 breast? That’s [a] smokin [typo]! : )
I believe his winning 200 breast time was 2:09:49
The times and people you have are for the 200 IM, but the video clip is Prenot talking about the 200 breast.
Happy Monday! : )
