MEN’S 200 butterfly – 2014 Austin Grand Prix – reported by Jared Anderson / SwimSwam
North Baltimore Aquatic Club took another event win in the men’s 200 fly with former UNC college star Tom Luchsinger, who went 1:57.93 to win. 17-year-old Andrew Seliskar hung around the whole way and started to make a late charge to keep things interesting, but Luchsinger had too much left in the tank, cruising out to the win ahead of Seliskar’s 1:58.57.
Cal’s Tom Shields almost snuck in for the runner-up spot, going 1:58.85 – he already picked up a win this weekend in the 100 fly.
Former Stanford Cardinal Bobby Bollier ended up fourth, the last swimmer under two minutes. Conor Dwyer, who’s been all over the place at this meet swimming everything from butterfly to IM to sprint freestyle, took fifth, going 2:00.88. Badger Swim Club’s Ryan Feeley was 6th, Ramiro Ramirez of ITESM 7th and Jersey Wahoo Zachary Fong 8th.
Alec Page ran away with things in the B final to hold his 9th spot. The 20-year-old went 2:02.76 to win the heat. Swim Ontario’s Evan White moved up to take 10th in 2:03.49.
