The men’s 1500 freestyle was a mirror image of the women’s event, this time featuring Zane Grothe and Will Gallant.
The main difference was that Grothe made his move a little bit earlier than McHugh, pulling away from Gallant around the 1000m mark.
Grothe, 28, finished in a time of 15:10.29, stacking up as his fastest swim since July of 2019 while also making him the second-fastest American this season. The time is a marked improvement compared to his 1500 done at this time last year in Richmond (15:19.77).
Also like McHugh, Grothe negative split the event, going 7:36.23/7:34.06 for the 750s, and also had his fastest 500 split come at the end (5:03.01/5:07.17/5:00.11).
Gallant faded over the final third of the race, clocking 15:24.77 for second. The 19-year-old Mission Viejo swimmer set a best time at the U.S. Open in 15:18.39 that now ranks him third among American this season.
Texas freshman David Johnston took three seconds off his lifetime best for third in 15:30.06.
Go Zane! Go BCH!
Love his curiosity and willingness to tinker with training. He’s like an engineer on this own body/performance
Big fan of Zane. He is not a very talented swimmer but he shows where hard work can get you
Not a very talented swimmer? What a weird thing to say.
Zane is awesome. Really cheering for him to make the Olympic Team! GO ZANE!!
