Phoenix Swim Club’s Giles Smith, always strong over the first part of his races, blasted out to a 24.27 first 50 split in the 100 fly final, and he held on to take the title even as he faded down the stretch. Smith came in at 52.94, four tenths slower than his 52.54 prelims time.

Grand Canyon’s Daniil Antipov finished fast and ended up taking second in 53.38, and Imperial Valley’s Kevin Mendoza took third in 53.64.

Yoessek Tibazi finished fourth in 54.09, just ahead of Canadian Josiah Binnema (54.14), Noah Bowers (54.20), Brendan Burns (54.25) and Noah Henderson (54.80).
