NBAC’s Chase Kalisz outlasted SwimMAC’s Tyler Clary for the men’s 400-meter IM win at the 2015 Arena Pro Swim Series Minneapolis.

Kalisz, who battled with Clary throughout most of the race, pulled away down the stretch with a 4:18.50. That’s a full eight seconds back of his fourth-ranked season best of 4:10.05 from Worlds, but more than enough for the win tonight.

Clary, meanwhile picked up second-place honors with a time of 4:21.01. His best time this year is a fifth-ranked 4:11.71 also from Worlds.

Princeton’s Corey Okubo rounded out the podium with a third-place time of 4:23.89.

Gator’s Sebastien Rousseau (4:25.93), Louisville’s Nolan Tesone (4:28.26), Minnesota’s Jakub Maly (4:29.00), Purdue’s Guillermo Blanco (4:29.65) and Wisconsin’s Michael Weiss (4:31.23) comprised the rest of the A final.

Club Wolverine’s Kyle Whitaker captured the B final win in 4:26.24 with Gator’s Dan Wallace taking second in 4:27.29.
