Indiana’s Vini Lanza had a lead at the halfway point, and Cal’s Tom Shields looked like he was taking control of the race over the second half, but Dynamo’s Gunnar Bentz charged home and took the win, touching out Shields by five hundredths to win the men’s 100 fly in Indianapolis.

Bentz, better known for his IM, 200 free and 200 fly abilities, came in at 53.03, to Shields’ 53.08 and Lanza’s 53.12. Athens Bulldog’s Camden Murphy, a training partner of Bentz at Georgia, took fourth in 53.30.

Carmel’s Drew Kibler took fifth in 53.62, followed by Louisville’s Nicolas Albiero (53.92), Athens Bulldog’s Pace Clark and Louisville’s Zach Harting (54.68).
