After finally winning his first National title in the men’s 1500 free,\u00a0Bobby Finke<\/strong> is now two-for-two in National titles after also winning the 400 IM. Unlike many other athletes, Finke finds the 400 IM to be a short race and a bit of a sprint for him (in comparison to the 1500). Finke was trailing teen\u00a0Carson Foster<\/strong> for the majority of the race, but turned on the jets for the final 100 and utilized his distance free endurance to propel himself to victory.<\/p>\n

When asked which victory means the most to him, Finke finds the 1500 victory to mean the most to him because he has been waiting for it for so long.<\/p>\n

Prior to his busy summer, Finke had injured his wrist in a scooter accident that required him to wear a cast from May 24th to July 19th. He had to wear a full waterproof cast to practice in and he credits that experience with building his mental stamina.<\/p>\n
