Club Wolverine’s Connor Jaeger blasted the field for the men’s 1500-meter free title at the Arena Pro Swim Series Charlotte.

Jaeger hit the wall in 14:58.13 to move to third in the world.  Only Gregorio Paltrinieri (14:43.87) and Mack Horton (14:44.09) have been faster this year.

Meanwhile, Ahmed Akram lowered his own Egyptian record with a second-place time of 15:07.84. That swim crushed the 15:10.99 set during the 2013 Belgian Championships in Antwerp.

Badger’s Ryan Feeley earned third overall tonight in 15:38.09.

Zane Grothe placed fourth with a 15:40.76 from the earlier heats, while Dynamo’s Kevin Litherland placed fifth in 15:42.68.

Marlins of Raleigh’s Adam Linker (15:43.37), NBAC’s Nezir Karap (15:45.40) and Club Wolverine’s Cameron Stitt (15:46.18) rounded out the top eight in the timed final event.

Yeah Connor but 14:58.13 would that not be third since the Milne went 14.58.25? Or was there a mistype on Milne’s time?

These are pretty speedy times for him. Does anyone know if he rested for this meet?

General query about news on this site. How is “editorial content for Charlotte sponsored by Arena” on all these items? What are they sponsoring? It doesn’t cost anything to type a race review? Apart from giving them namechecks, how are Arena involved? Sorry, not being facetious … just confused!

Of course…that makes sense! Thanks Jason. (Easy to forget how far apart events are in your vast country.) Always been confused about sponsorship with others eg Finis but mystery solved). All the best!
