MEN’S 200 BACKSTROKE – FINALS – 2015 Arena Pro Swim Series

Ryan Murphy and Jacob Pebley looked great through the front half, leading out Matt Grevers through the 100. Ryan Murphy was able to hold on to the back half of his race like his teammate, Josh Prenot, was able to do in the 400 IM. California just spent some time in Colorado training in altitude. Murphy finished first with his time of 1:56.91, followed by Matt Grevers at 1:57.43 for second. Jacob Pebley added a third place finish with his time of 1:58.47.

Jack Conger finished fourth at 1:59.94 and Jonathan Roberts was fifth at 2:00.13.

he was a bit sluggish on his finish at Pan Pacs on the 100 back and on the medley relay as well . As U pointed out , his finish has to improve . He has a very solid first 50 anyway allready .

But nothing more.
He can’t qualify at the next US olympic trials in that event against guys like Lochte, Clary or Murphy.
