Men’s 400 IM

Japanese Olympian Daiya Seto led the competition from wall-to-wall in the men’s 400 IM final. Seto, who was the bronze medalist in the 400 IM at the Rio Olympics, jumped to an early lead in the first 50 meters of the race and never looked back, finishing more than seven seconds ahead of the competition with a 4:13.80.

Anton Ipsen of NC State picked up the silver medal with a final time of 4:21.07, followed by a close race between University of Calgary’s Tristan Cote and Nitro’s Sean Grieshop. Cote snuck his hand to the wall just ahead of Grieshop to finish third with a 4:21.42 over Grieshop’s 4:21.47.

Island Swimming’s Josh Zakala finished fifth overall with a time of 4:24.02, while Mason Manta Ray’s Carson Foster took sixth with a 4:27.31.

Casey Storch of Machine Aquatics and Jarrod Arroyo, swimming unattached, were seventh and eighth with times of 4:27.62 and 4:35.05 respectively.
