Nicolas Albiero followed up on his recent NCAA title in the 200 yard butterfly with a win in the LCM version at PSS Mission Viejo. His 1:57.86 was a season best and was a 1.2-second improvement from his prelims time. Albiero was out in 55.7 at the 100, with Zheng Quah close on his shoulder in 55.9. Albiero took off on his third 50 to put clean water between him and Quah and led by half a body at the 150 wall.
Chase Kalisz had the strongest back half, splitting his race 56.6-1:01.5, nearly catching Albiero but falling .30 short at the end with 1:58.16.
Zach Harting passed Quah, closing with 1:02.2 to Quah’s 1:03.5 over the final 100 meters. Harting posted a 1:59.38 for third place.
He’s a great example of why florida is underrated. Great beaches, good party scene. has anyone been to Miami? I’m looking at going this summer with the wife. It’ll be a good trip. anyone have any good restaurant recommendations? (Sharon LOVES sushi btw)
Was waiting for the family-related interview question from this meet. So relieved that we didn’t go a whole week without it😌
It’s OK if Coleman follows it up with the best spot for Pancakes or something.
