Canada’s Ryan Cochrane<\/strong> cruised his way to a Pan American Games record time in the men’s 1500-meter free as he’s definitely saving up some energy for the World Championships.<\/p>\n

Cochrane, who is not shaved or tapered for this meet and already won the 400 free earlier<\/a>, put in an easy speed time of 15:06.40 to win the metric mile. \u00a0That swim crushed the Pan American Games mark of 15:12.33 set by Chip Peterson<\/strong> back in 2007, but is well short of Cochrane’s 10th-ranked season best of 15:01.41 from Trials.<\/p>\n

USA’s Andrew Gemmell<\/strong> turned in a silver-winning time of 15:09.92, while Brazil’s Brandonn Almeida<\/strong> took home bronze in a time of 15:11.70. That’s a personal best for Almeida, while Gemmell has been as low as a 14:52.19.<\/p>\n

El Salvador’s Marcelo Acosta<\/strong> (15:16.26), Canada’s Nelson Maitland<\/strong> (15:16.35), USA’s Ryan Feeley<\/strong> (15:19.99), Brazil’s Lucas Kanieski<\/strong> (15:23.91) and Colombia’s Mateo De Angulo<\/strong> (15:24.27) finished fourth through eighth in the timed final event.<\/p>\n
