William Marois of Chena slid under his best time by 0.04 to take silver in 2:03.39, and Robert Hill, who opened up that big lead with one length to go with a 34.94 breast split, touched third in 2:03.43.
Pratt, a member of Cascade Swim Club, also won bronze on the night in the men’s 50 back, clocking 26.22 behind Tim Zeng (25.62) of Chena and Guillermo Cruz Zuniga (25.83) of CAMO.
