In a finale that featured seven total countries represented, eight if you count Mike Alexandrov twice, Louisville’s Carlos Claverie edged the field in the men’s 100-meter breast at the Arena Pro Swim Series Mesa.

Claverie touched out Trojan’s Azad Al-Barazi, 1:02.42 to 1:02.44, while NYAC’s Alexandrov took third overall in 1:02.59.

Carlos Claverie, 100 breast:

“We came here to execute. We’ve been training real hard, and this is like a training meet. I came here (to the United States) a year ago and I love it at the University of Louisville. The coaching is amazing.”

None of the top three even came close to the top 10 in the world currently anchored by legend Kosuke Kitajima’s 1:00.18 from Japanese Nationals.

Club Wolverine’s Zach Hayden, who went out hard, wound up taking fourth overall in 1:02.76.

SoFlo’s Jorge Murillo Valdes (1:03.08), Grand Canyon’s Youssef El Kamash (1:03.0), Uldis Tazans (1:03.55) and Grand Canyon’s Eetu Karvonen (1:04.01) placed fifth through eighth.

Maksim Shcherbakov won the B final with a time of 1:02.81 while Tucson Ford’s Marcus Titus put up a second-place 1:03.77.
