MAUI, Hawaii, August 30.

USA’s Paul Powers downed his meet record as well as Caeleb Dressel’s 17-18 U.S. National Age Group record in the 50-meter freestyle with a winning time of 22.20. That performance downed his meet record of 22.24 set this morning, while he also clipped Dressel’s 22.22 from 2013 just a few months before he will turn 19 while swimming at the University of Michigan.

Australia’s Blake Jones took a distant second in 22.67 with Canada’s Cameron Kidd placing third in 22.69.

USA’s James Jones (22.81), Australia’s Vincent Dai (22.81), Japan’s Katsuhiro Matsumoto (23.21), Canada’s Markus Thormeyer (23.34) and Mexico’s Lorenzo Loria (23.55) also took part in the A final.

Michael Andrew of the U.S. cleared 23 seconds for the first time as the 15-year-old pro won the B final in 22.82. Australia’s Brayden McCarthy also cleared 23 with a second-place 22.87.

Canada’s Mitchel Ferraro (23.21), China’s Jin Chenghao (23.68), China’s Chen Qian (23.98), New Zealand’s Julian Weir (24.02), New Zealand’s Dominic Mildon (24.52) and China’s Chen Chaoqi (25.05) also made their way into the consolation heat.
