Nathan Adrian quickly opened up a commanding lead on the rest of the field and was 22.79 to his feet.  He said in the post-race interview that he may have been a little fast, but his 25.21 backhalf was still good enough for an in-season 48.00, which puts him 5th in the world this year.

No one else was anywhere near the reigning Olympic gold medalist.  Christian Quintero was the next-closest competitor, at almost a second and a half behind Adrian, taking 2nd in 49.45.  USA teammates Jimmy Feigen andConor Dwyer took the next two spots, which Feigen touching in 49.80 for 3rd and Dwyer in 49.89 for 4th.

Matias Koski and Michael Chadwick were the only other two men close to going under 50.0, but both came up just short. Koski went 50.04, with Chadwick going 50.12 after being 49-high this morning.  Daniel Ramirez took 7th in 50.43.  Ryan Lochte was almost a second slower than his time this morning, albeit quite understandably so after just swimming the 200 back final, and finished 8th in 50.69.
