Out like a lightning bolt was Cal’s Trenton Julian, splitting 54.64 at the halfway point. Julian never slowed down, touching the wall with a season best of 1:55.77. Julian now ranks No. 1 in the US and cracked the top 15 times in the world this season. Placing second in Atlanta was Chase Kalisz at 1:56.90, which moves up to No. 2 in the US rankings.
Julian also took down Dressel’s 2019 meet record of 1:56.29.
LET’S GO JULIAN!!!! Great swim. Rested I think he could be 1:53 mid. Maybe crack 1:53 and go 1:52 high. GO BEARS!
Goal: last 50 under 30,!!! Then no one should run him down at Trials
Nah. Urlando has it. But behind him there is going to be good competition.
A great attitude and hard worker, results all well-earned.
