Trojan’s Vlad Morozov, the top-ranked swimmer in the world in the 100 free, topped the event at the Arena Pro Swim Series Santa Clara.

Morozov had just enough in the tank to win in 49.28, well off the 47.98 he used to set the world best at Russian Nationals.

The event was definitely missing some serious star power as top-seed Nathan Adrian scratched finals. Adrian clocked a 49.36 in prelims, and definitely would have helped push Morozov this evening.

Argentina’s Federico Grabich placed second in 49.50 with FIAT’s Nicolas Oliveira taking third in 49.60.

Trojan’s Alexander Sukhorukov (49.62), Brazil’s Joao De Lucca (49.63), Auburn’s Marcelo Chierighini (49.74), Trojan’s Dylan Carter (49.81), Hong Kong’s Geoff Cheah (49.99) and Club Wolverine’s Anders Lie Nielsen (50.49) also competed tonight.

Stanford’s David Nolan raced his way to an in-season best with a 50.09 to win the B final. That swim cleared his previous best in-season swim ot 50.21 from prelims today. Before that, a 50.45 had stood as his best non-championship swim from the 2014 Los Angeles Invitational.
