JUST a few months into his comeback after retirement, Erik Vendt earned top honors in the 1,500 freestyle at the United States Nationals on Saturday night. Vendt touched the wall in 15:05.41 to defeat Olympic silver medalist Larsen Jensen (15:11.11).<\/p>\n<p>Vendt decided to exit retirement a few months back and has been training at Club Wolverine. Apparently, it hasn&#39;t taken him much time to begin regaining the form that made him a silver medalist at the 2000 and 2004 Olympics in the 400 individual medley. Still, he isn&#39;t yet satisfied.  <\/p>\n<p>&quot;I&#39;m still working on my stroke,&quot; said Vendt, who made the Pan Pacific Championships team. &quot;I don&#39;t think my stroke is all the way there yet, but I&#39;m looking for big things. I wanted to make a team.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>Vendt&#39;s teammate at Club Wolverine, Peter Vanderkaay was third in the distance free with a time of 15:14.78. Fourth place went to Robert Margalis in 15:16.74.<\/p>\n<p>Event 30  Men 1500 LC Meter Freestyle<br \/>\n==================================================================<br \/>\n        World: W 14:34.56  7\/29\/2001 Grant Hackett, AUS<br \/>\n     American: A 14:45.29  8\/21\/2004 Larsen Jensen, USA<br \/>\n    U.S. Open: O 14:48.34  4\/6\/2003  Grant Hackett, AUS<br \/>\n LC Nationals: M 14:59.11  8\/16\/2000 Erik Vendt, Ocean State Squids<br \/>\n   Oly.
