Tonight,\u00a0<strong>Zane Grothe\u00a0<\/strong>swimming post grad at Indiana University smashed the American Record with a 4:07.25 for the fastest swim ever in the event.<\/p>\n<p>Grothe, 25, made his World Championship debut this past summer in Budapest where he finished in the top eight in the 400 and 800 freestyles. Grothe has been rapidly improving and flying under the radar ever since he joined the post grad group at Indiana.<\/p>\n<p>This is a bit of a shock as Grothe&#8217;s best was a 4:12.98 from the 2015 OKC Elite Pro-Am in December of that year. Grothe&#8217;s time moves past Smith&#8217;s as the fastest in history and is the first swimmer under 4:08 in the event.<\/p>\n<p>The Indiana post grads are already off to a flying start at the AT&amp;T Winter Nationals as Grothe joins fellow Auburn grad\u00a0<strong>Ashley Neidigh\u00a0<\/strong>as national champions in the 500. Neidigh also had a big drop earlier tonight when she dropped five seconds to win the 500.<\/p>\n<p>Grothe used a solid back half to move past\u00a0<strong>Mitch D&#8217;Arrigo\u00a0<\/strong>who had a stellar swim himself with a 4:10.78.\u00a0<strong>Marwan El-Kamash\u00a0<\/strong>(4:16.10),\u00a0<strong>Marcelo Acosta\u00a0<\/strong>(4:16.35),\u00a0<strong>Brayden Seal\u00a0<\/strong>(4:19.37),\u00a0<strong>Nick Hogsed\u00a0<\/strong>(4:20.43),\u00a0<strong>Max Irwin\u00a0<\/strong>(4:22.24) and\u00a0<strong>Din Selmanovic\u00a0<\/strong>(4:22.65) also swam in the A-final.<\/p>\n<p>This is also the first time the American Record in the event will not be a 4:08 since\u00a0<strong>Chad Carvin\u00a0<\/strong>swam a 4:11.59 in March 1994 and\u00a0<strong>Tom Dolan\u00a0<\/strong>broke it the next year with a 4:08.75.<\/p>\n<p>Smith&#8217;s splits:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>22.68<\/li>\n<li>47.34 (24.66)<\/li>\n<li>1:12.37 (25.03)<\/li>\n<li>1:37.47 (25.10)<\/li>\n<li>2:02.43 (24.96)<\/li>\n<li>2:27.44 (25.01)<\/li>\n<li>2:52.86 (25.42)<\/li>\n<li>3:18.30 (25.44)<\/li>\n<li>3:43.93 (25.63<\/li>\n<li>4:08.42 (24.49)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Grothe&#8217;s splits:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>22.65<\/li>\n<li>47.58 (24.93)<\/li>\n<li>1:12.75 (25.17)<\/li>\n<li>1:38.07 (25.32)<\/li>\n<li>2:03.15 (25.08)<\/li>\n<li>2:28.30 (25.24)<\/li>\n<li>2:53.31 (24.92)<\/li>\n<li>3:18.07 (24.76)<\/li>\n<li>3:43.19 (25.12)<\/li>\n<li>4:07.25 (24.06)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div id=\"attachment_286323\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-286323\" data-attachment-id=\"286323\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/zane-grothe-smashes-american-record-in-500-free-to-break-408-for-first-time\/screen-shot-2017-11-30-at-5-52-04-pm\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Screen-Shot-2017-11-30-at-5.52.04-PM-e1512082374697.png\" data-orig-size=\"822,640\" 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=\"500-free-nationals\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Screen Shot 2017-11-30 at 5.52.04 PM&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Photo Courtesy:&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Screen-Shot-2017-11-30-at-5.52.04-PM-e1512082374697-700x500.png\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Screen-Shot-2017-11-30-at-5.52.04-PM-1024x640.png\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-286323\" src=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Screen-Shot-2017-11-30-at-5.52.04-PM-e1512082374697-700x500.png\" alt=\"500-free-nationals\" width=\"700\" height=\"500\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-286323\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Courtesy:<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last year,\u00a0Clark Smith\u00a0said the American Record was soft after he broke\u00a0Peter Vanderkaay&#8217;s\u00a011-year-old American Record with a 4:08.42 at the NCAA Championships.
