Luca Urlando was just over a second shy of his best time from earlier this year, but still a second ahead of the field as he took the win here in 1:54.92. Miles Smachlo dropped another second from his best time set in prelims, out-touching Nicolas Albiero 1:55.94 to 1:56.05. Albiero’s time was a best by over half a second.
I’d guess a 1:53 low is coming
I’d love to see him drop and 1:53 low and take that world junior record before he turns 18……..Gives me hope of eventually seeing that 200 fly WR come back to the US..eventually
Rowdy said Urlando is only 5’7″-5’8″. That seems… false.
He’s about 5’11 I believe
I mean he’s impressive no matter what, but if he’s under 6′ that’s especially cool
Then the question now should be “How tall are his parents?”
5’9″ from reports from campus recruit visits
