For the fourth time in four TYR Pro Swim Series meets this year, Cal’s Nathan Adrian finished first in the 100 free. He took a fourth-tenth lead at the 50-meter mark and held on to win in a quick time of 48.69. Adrian’s season-best — and the top time by an American this year — is his 48.58 from the Atlanta stop in March.

Indiana’s Blake Pieroni, swimming in his first long course meet of the year, took second in 49.13, just ahead of Wolfpack Elite’s Justin Ress (49.18). Another of the NC State-trained sprinters, Ryan Held, grabbed fourth in 49.54.

The only other man to break 50 was Zach Apple, who last week transferred from Auburn to Indiana. Apple finished in 49.91, ahead of Israel’s Aaron Greenberg (50.27), Indiana’s Ali Khalafalla (50.35) and Club Wolverine’s Gus Borges (51.70).
