Athens Bulldog’s Chase Kalisz never had any competition in the men’s 400 IM final. He pulled ahead from the start and pulled in with a time of 4:10.55. That’s slower than Kalisz’s top-ranked time in the world this year (4:08.92) but quicker than the No. 2-ranked swimmer, Japan’s Kosuke Hagino (4:10.69).

Dynamo’s Jay Litherland, who trains with Kalisz at Georgia and has been a finalist in the event at both the 2016 Olympics and 2017 World Championships, took second in 4:17.09. Third went to Louisville’s Daniel Sos in 4:18.12.

Cal’s Sean Grieshop took fourth in 4:21.05, and Dynamo’s Gunnar Bentz was fifth in 4:21.34 after taking the win in the 100 fly Thursday night. Also in the final were Georgia’s Clayton Forde (4:24.47), Club Wolverine’s Charlie Swanson (4:24.49) and Indiana’s Spencer Lehman (4:29.05).
