Previously, he was the long course world champion in the event in 2019. Seto led wire-to-wire, building a margin of six tenths at the halfway point and more than a second at the 150-meter mark.

For Foster, this was his first final at his first senior-level international competition, and he picked up a silver medal. He will have a chance at more medals later in the week in the 400 IM and as part of the U.S. men&#8217;s 800 free relay. Razzetti, meanwhile, picked up bronze in 1:51.54 for his second medal of the day after he won a shocking gold in the men&#8217;s 200 fly.
