Lol did you even watch the race or look at the splits? He wasn’t leading until the end. Clark smith went out in wr pace. Yet another mess up from swim swam.
Your statement that he led the whole race isn’t true. He was trailing the entire first 300 and looked like he maybe caught Clark Smith (who was out 53.1 at the 100) at the 350
