Jay Litherland pulled off a very difficult double tonight, winning both the 200 free and the 400 IM.  Prenot already had a top-25 world ranking in this race, but with his swim tonight he has moved up even higher to 18th-fastest.  Litherland, meanwhile, takes over the 15th spot on the top-25.  Jay’s brother, Kevin, also finished 9th in the A final.
