On Wednesday night at the 2017 U.S. Nationals/World Championships Trials, Olympic breaststroker Kevin Cordes topped a loaded 200 breast field by almost a body length, winning the race with a personal best 2:07.41. Cordes was under World Record pace for most of the race, but fell of towards the end. He was also within 3 tenths of the American Record, which stands at a 2:07.17 done by Olympic silver medalist Josh Prenot in 2016.

Josh Prenot should be 2.07, not 2.01
Glad he keeps improving
