Klete Keller Turns in a 3:50 in the 400 Free at FINIS Counsilman Classic Grand Prix

By Kevin Milak

INDANAPOLIS, Ind., April 3. A mix of veterans and newcomers topped the podium on the second night of the Counsilman Classic Grand Prix.

Klete Keller had his game face on when he came to finals, after cruising a 4:00 in the 400 freestyle preliminaries. Keller dominated the final, winning in 3:50.38, leaving the field more than seven seconds behind.

The women’s 400 free was much tighter, three-way battle between veteran Olympians Lindsay Benko, Brooke Bennett and Diana Munz. All three were able to cruise the prelims and came back to push the pace down to 4:12.19, with Benko taking the win. Bennett touched second in 4:12.97 and Munz was third in 4:13.01.

In the women’s 200 fly, fifteen-year old Elaine Breeden took the top spot over Dana Kirk, finishing in 2:11.31, Kirk touched in second in 2:12.12 and Shelly Ripple-Johnson was third in 2:13.27.

For the men, it was reigning Olympic champion Tom Malchow touching first in 1:57.16, ahead of Kentucky’s Daniel Cruz in 1:58.58. Mexico's/U. of Arizona’s Juan Veloz was the only other swimmer under two minutes, touching third in 1:59.81.

In the 50 free, Jenny Thompson just keeps on winning, touching in 25.32, a half second ahead of Georgia alumna Maritza Correia (second in 25.81) and SMU’s Martina Moravcova (third, 25.85).

For the men, it was ASU’s Nick Brunelli, winning in 22.69, finishing ahead of last night’s 200 free champ Ryk Neethling and Race Club’s Sabir Muhammed.

The men’s 100 back was a showdown between the veteran Lenny Krayzelburg and the newcomer, Matt Grevers, a freshman at Northwestern. The race came down to the wire with Lenny taking the win in 55.10 and Greevers taking second in 55.20. Courtney Shealy took the women’s 100 back by nearly a second, winning in 1:02.16.

Tara Kirk had a top finish in the 200 breast in a PR 2:27.87. Ireland's/Univ. of Tennessee's Andrew Bree took the top men’s spot in 2:16.62.
