After posting a personal best time this morning, Michael Andrew was just off his morning swim of 21.69 in the men’s 50 free on the third day of the 2018 TYR Pro Swim Series in Columbus. Andrew was the only swimmer in the field under the 22-second mark, getting his hand to the wall first in 21.70.

His prelims swim ranks the 19-year-old sixth in the world this season and the fastest for an American.

Justin Ress was just off his personal best to take second in 22.38 followed by Zach Apple in 22.56 for third.

Ryan Held (22.73), Bruno Blaskovic (23.03), Mihalis Deliyia (23.03), Andrew Loy (23.09) and Josh Fleagle (23.17) also swam in the A final.
