Jay Litherland won the men’s 400 IM at the 2017 Arena Pro Swim Series Santa Clara by nearly four seconds. The 2016 Rio Olympian stopped the clock in 4:13.79, fast enough for 12th in the world this year. Twenty minutes later, he narrowly won the 200 free in 1:49.28.

Litherland reveals that he doesn’t like to think too much before his races and talks about racing the 400 IM with his brothers in the same heat. He also discusses the 200 free as a focus event and how he has learned to trust the process.
