Andrew Abruzzo<\/strong> furthered his already impressive individual schedule by earning top honors in the men’s 800 free, dropping a 7:54.70 to better Miguel Velente<\/strong> of Brazil’s mark of 7:56.37. Reminiscent of a sprint race, the heat was tightly packed, as Mexico’s Ricardo Vargas<\/strong> (7:56.76) and America’s Nicolas Sweetser<\/strong> (7:56.96) battled for a spot on the podium in the final lap, with Vargas emerging victorious.<\/p>\n

Marcelo Acosta<\/strong> of El Salvador headed the second wave, eclipsing the sub-8:00 mark with a time of 8:00.96, as he held off Brazil’s Diogo Villarinho<\/strong> (8:03.17) for a coveted spot in the top five. Christian Bayo<\/strong> of Puerto Rico turned heads from the outside lane, as he and Andy Jose Gomez<\/strong> of Venezuela finished off the individual event schedule with times of 8:12.17 and 8:29.42, respectively.<\/p>\n
