MEN’S 200 IM

1. Chase Kalisz, Georgia, 1:41.26
2. Andrew Seliskar, Cal, 1:42.41
3. Ryan Murphy, Cal, 1:42.53

Chase Kalisz is back. After a somewhat disappointing conclusion to the 2014-15 NCAA season and an Olympic redshirt for 2015-16, he’s returned to top form in the short course yards pool. Kalisz, who won a silver medal at the Rio Olympics this summer, was just hundredths shy of his personal best time in the 200 IM tonight. He took down a stacked field with his 1:41.26 for 1st place.

That time put him nearly a second ahead of anyone else. Rounding out the top 3 were Cal teammates Andrew Seliskar and Ryan Murphy. Seliskar was slightly faster, picking up 2nd in 1:42.41. Murphy, who took 3rd in this race at 2016 NCAAs, finished in 1:42.53 for 3rd.
