Jay Litherland has been as quick as 4:10.21 in the 400 IM this year, a time bettered by only his Georgia training partner Chase Kalisz and Japan’s Daiya Seto. He was not nearly that quick in winning the event at Winter Nationals, as he swam a time of 4:20.16. But Litherland never had any serious competition and was not pushed down the stretch.

In a field packed with teenagers, Long Island’s Jason Louser finished second in 4:23.99, and Tristan Cote claimed third in 4:24.61. Fourth went to Phoenix Swim Club’s Zachary Tan in 4:25.28.

Nation’s Capital’s Sean Conway took fifth in 4:28.49, ahead of Matt Fallon (4:30.06), Paige Dacosta (4:30.80) and Nick Vance (4:31.05).
