This was a huge best time for Green as he got under the 4:20 mark for the first time ever. This morning in prelims he swam a personal best of 4:20.25. Prior to this meet, his best time was a 4:22.71 which he swam at this meet a year ago to finish ninth. His old best time stood as the 19th fastest 15-16 ever.

Green led the whole race, although, he was almost caught during the breaststroke leg and on the first 50 of the freestyle leg. A strong last 50 especially with his legs helped ensure the win.

Green was 21st in the 200 fly on night 1 and is also entered in the 400 free, 200 back, 200 free, 100 back, 200 IM, and 800 free later in the meet.
