Josh Prenot was just .11 off of his own American record to make a major statement in the men’s 200 breast. The Cal swimmer finished first in 2:07.28 to record the fastest time in the world for 2018. That should be major redemption for Prenot, who missed last summer’s World Championship team after earning a silver medal at the 2016 Rio Olympics in this event.

Finishing in second was Andrew Wilson, who was out fast and led at the 100 in 1:01.04. He managed to hold on to finish second in 2:08.71, just .01 ahead of training partner Will Licon (2:08.72). In fourth was Georgia’s Nic Fink (2:09.24).

Notably, Kevin Cordes was only fifth here in the final (2:09.71) after winning the event at last year’s meet. Rounding out the A-final was Daniel Roy (2:09.76), Jonathan Tybur (2:11.27), and Charlie Swanson (2:11.63).
