Conor Dwyer of Trojan Swim Club and Ryan Lochte from SwimMAC put on quite a show in the men’s race, trading stroke for stroke over the last 50 meters. Dwyer pulled away in the end, though, and got the win with 1:47.88 to Lochte’s 1:48.66. Louisville’s Joao De Lucca rounded out the podium in 1:49.06.
The rest of the championship final all seemed to come into the wall together: Giovanny Lima of Sesi (1:49.87), Michael Weiss of Wisconsin (1:50.12), Trevor Carroll of Louisville (1:50.26), Matthias Lindenbauer of Louisville (1:50.36), and Bobby Hurley of Club Wolverine (1:50.36).
