Canada’s Ryan Cochrane<\/strong> captured a Pan American Games record in the men’s 400-meter free while being unshaven as he is focused on the World Championships next month.<\/p>\n

Cochrane clocked a time of 3:48.29 to hold on for the gold medal and smash Matt Patton’s 2007 meet mark of 3:49.77. \u00a0Cochrane has been faster this year with a 13th-ranked 3:47.50.<\/p>\n

USA’s Ryan Feeley<\/strong> made a move but didn’t have enough to overtake Cochrane as he settled for silver with a 3:49.69. \u00a0That’s nearly a personal best, just off his 3:49.21 lifetime best.<\/p>\n

Brazil’s Leonardo De Deus<\/strong> clipped USA’s Michael Klueh<\/strong> for bronze, 3:50.30 to 3:50.53. De Deus just missed his Brazilian record of 3:49.62.<\/p>\n

Canada’s Jeremy Bagshaw<\/strong> (3:50.55), Colombia’s Mateo De Angulo<\/strong> (3:51.38), Venezuela’s Cristian Quintero<\/strong> (3:52.92) and Mexico’s Ricardo Vargas<\/strong> (3:55.42) finished fifth through eighth.<\/p>\n

De Angulo crushed his previous Colombian record of 3:53.01.<\/p>\n

El Salvador’s Marcelo Acosta<\/strong> raced his way to a win in the B final with a time of 3:51.12. That’s a three-second drop from his lifetime best.<\/p>\n

Brazil’s Lucas Kanieski<\/strong> (3:52.73) and Venezuela’s Rafael Davila<\/strong> (3:53.76) finished second and third.<\/p>\n

Puerto Rico’s Christian Bayo<\/strong> (3:54.11), Ecuador’s Tomas Peribonio<\/strong> (3:57.49), Argentina’s Juan Pereyra<\/strong> (3:59.65), Barbados’ Alex Sobers<\/strong> (4:00.25) and Mexico’s Arturo Perez<\/strong> (4:00.96) also competed in the consolation heat.<\/p>\n
