Returning to Atlanta, where he swam four years at Emory, Andrew Wilson won the 200 breast final at the TYR Pro Swim Series with a 2:08.95. He was a little off his 2:08.52 prelim time as he did not swim as aggressively tonight, but it was good enough for the win. Wilson was ahead of Longhorn teammate Will Licon (2:09.47) who finished in second.

Josh Prenot (2:10.43), Chase Kalisz (2:11.06), Nic Fink (2:11.53), Erik Persson (2:12.61), Cody Miller (2:13.04) and Kevin Cordes (2:13.12) also swam in the stacked A-final that included two guys from the Budapest World Championship final, as well as Persson who was 10th.
