Anton Ipsen held off a hard late charge from Zane Grothe in the 400 free final on Friday night at the TYR Pro Swim Series in Richmond. Ipsen swam a 3:48.22 as Grothe was second at 3:48.53. Both Ipsen and Grothe were 3:49’s in Des Moines last month so they both scored season best times in the 400 free in Richmond. Grothe will represent Team USA this summer at World Championships in the 400 free as well as the 800 and 1500 free.
El Salvador native Marcelo Acosta (3:54.55) placed third as he just finished his senior year at the University of Louisville where he placed sixth in the 1650 this past March.
Santi Corredor (3:57.10), True Sweetser (3:57.16), Gil Kiesler (3:57.19), Ryan Waters (3:57.38) and Luke Johnson (3:58.38) also swam in the A-Final.
