Olympian Ryan Held lowered the U.S. Open Record again tonight. After shattering his best time in prelims, he clipped by a few hundredths to win the title in 47.39. Like Weitzeil, Held swam his best time in the event today for the first time since 2016 Olympic Trials.
Maxime Rooney and Tate Jackson, now training partners at Texas, both lowered their bests from prelims as well. Rooney hit the wall 2nd in 47.61 and Jackson was close behind for 3rd in 47.88. All 3 men broke 48 for the first time today.
His 200 could be great tonight!
Florida not winning SECs next season book it
He is smaller Nathan Adrian
Isn’t everybody lol
Amazing how things seem to come full circle. Rooney had his breakout meet at this meet in 2015 and now he’s back swimming at his best. Seems like a great guy and I can’t wait for his success next year at trials!
I watched him around pool in last 2-3 months at meets and he does seam like a very nice guy getting along well with other Texas swimmers. Great addition to Texas.
