MEN’S 200 FLY:

Top 3:

  1. Pace Clark, 1:56.97
  2. Jack Conger, 1:57.01
  3. Chase Kalisz, 1:57.32

Georgia’s Pace Clark scorched his way to a 1:56.97 to win the men’s 200 fly in a heated battle with Chase Kalisz and Texas’ Jack Conger. Conger made his move on the final 50, but came up short with a 1:57.01 to touch out Kalisz (1:57.32) for 2nd place.

Conger’s teammate Joseph Schooling was up with the pack at the halfway point with a 56.47 split, but faded to 7th on the back half for an overall time of 2:02.31.

51.70 is very solid, but sometimes I question exactly how rested he is. I remember when he went a 51.6 “unshaved and untapered” at a January 2015 Arena Pro Swim and only dropped to a 51.3 at Nationals last year. I think he will grab the #2 spot in the 200 fly, but he will have to be sub-51 to beat Shields for that 2nd 100 fly spot

Seem like he did double taper last summer, WUGs and Nationals.
About this meet, Licon said Eddie rest them a few days.
Although I am more concern about his 200 free race here.
His relay teammate Haas and Smith were 2s better than him…
His first leg at NCAA was very good actually…
