Last night, he scorched a 2:07 in the 200 breast final, and tonight he showed off his 50 speed with a 26.88. Cordes lowered his meet record in the process that he set this morning at 26.89. Cordes sits at third in the world rankings behind Great Britain&#8217;s\u00a0<strong>Adam Peaty<\/strong>\u00a0(26.48) and Brazil&#8217;s\u00a0<strong>Joao Gomes<\/strong>\u00a0(26.83).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Andrew Wilson<\/strong>\u00a0of Texas picked up the second spot at 27.18 ahead of\u00a0<strong>Cody Miller<\/strong>\u00a0of Badger Swim Club (27.24) and\u00a0<strong>Connor Hoppe<\/strong>\u00a0of Cal (27.28).\u00a0<strong>Nic Fink<\/strong>\u00a0(27.31),\u00a0<strong>Michael Andrew<\/strong>\u00a0(27.40),\u00a0<strong>Matthew Anderson<\/strong>\u00a0(27.78) and\u00a0<strong>Ian Finnerty<\/strong>\u00a0(27.83) also swam in the A-final.<\/p>\n<p>Cordes has the chance to improve on his bronze medal from the 2015 Worlds. We will see tomorrow who the second swimmer could be based on the 100 breast. Right now Miller, Wilson, Andrew and Fink are showing promising signs of getting that second spot in the 100 if Cordes can pull off the hat trick.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"263592\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/kevin-cordes-lowers-meet-record-in-50-breast\/screen-shot-2017-06-29-at-7-55-26-pm\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Screen-Shot-2017-06-29-at-7.55.26-PM-e1498780569440.png\" data-orig-size=\"780,480\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"50-breas-tmen\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Screen Shot 2017-06-29 at 7.55.26 PM&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Screen-Shot-2017-06-29-at-7.55.26-PM-e1498780569440-700x480.png\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Screen-Shot-2017-06-29-at-7.55.26-PM-1024x640.png\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-263592\" src=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Screen-Shot-2017-06-29-at-7.55.26-PM-e1498780569440-700x480.png\" alt=\"Screen Shot 2017-06-29 at 7.55.26 PM\" width=\"700\" height=\"480\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kevin Cordes\u00a0has been on fire in the 2017 Phillips 66 USA Swimming National Championships.
