En route to a dominant victory, <strong>Raito Numata<\/strong> became the fourth Japanese athlete to go sub-4:10 in the event this year, as he captured the gold medal in 4:09.82.<\/p>\n<p>Sitting in third place after the opening butterfly leg, Numata moved to the front of the field on backstroke and was never challenged. Numata recorded a five-second triumph over the United States&#8217; <strong>Yi Zheng<\/strong>, who earned the silver medal in 4:14.94. The bronze went to Japan&#8217;s <strong>Ayumu Negishi<\/strong>, behind a swim of 4:15.44. Numata trailed by a half-second after the butterfly, but was in front by 2.04 seconds after a backstroke split of 1:04.37.<\/p>\n<p>Japan was also victorious in the girls&#8217; 400 individual medley, as <strong>Shuna Sasaki<\/strong> prevailed in 4:39.36. She was the lone swimmer to break 4:40, with Australian <strong>Amelie Smith<\/strong> finishing in second place in 4:40.40. In the boys&#8217; 100 breaststroke, Japan&#8217;s <strong>Yusei<\/strong> <strong>Imaizumi<\/strong> was the only athlete to break the minute barrier, going 59.98. <strong>Toya Hirata<\/strong> made it a pair of backstroke golds when he won the 50 distance in 25.16, backing up his Monday title in the 100 backstroke.<\/p>\n<p>The United States&#8217; <strong>Luka Mijatovic<\/strong> picked up his third victory of the meet when he rallied to hit the wall first in the 100 freestyle. Mijatovic checked in at 49.53, followed by Argentina&#8217;s <strong>Matias Chaillou<\/strong> (49.56) and American <strong>Jordan Ragland<\/strong> (49.65). On the opening night of the meet, Mijatovic won the 200 freestyle and 800 freestyle, the latter event in a National Age Group (NAG) record.<\/p>\n<p>Mijatovic also anchored the United States to victory in the 800 freestyle relay, as his closing leg of 1:45.44 erased a deficit to Japan and carried the U.S. to the wall in 7:13.22, with Japan taking silver in 7:15.62. Mijatovic was preceded by <strong>Kai Joyner<\/strong> (1:48.99), <strong>Trent Allen<\/strong>\u00a0(1:49.18) and <strong>Ellis Crisci<\/strong> (1:49.61). Numata was quickest for Japan, splitting 1:47.82 on the third leg.<\/p>\n<p>Coming off a silver medal in the 100 backstroke, Team USA&#8217;s <strong>Alyssa Sagle<\/strong> bested the field in the 50 backstroke with an effort of 28.54. Meanwhile, the 800 freestyle relay of <strong>Vivienne Zangaro<\/strong> (2:00.70), <strong>Abi Burke<\/strong> (1:58.91), <strong>Ellie Clarke<\/strong> (2:00.65) and <strong>Sydney Hardy<\/strong> (2:00.78) won in 8:01.04.<\/p>\n<p>The girls&#8217; 100 breaststroke featured a dominant display from Aussie <strong>Lilla Ribot De Bresac<\/strong>, who covered her two laps in 1:07.17, well ahead of the 1:07.79 of Japan&#8217;s <strong>Mana Ishikawa<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Canada grabbed its first gold medal of the meet when <strong>Ranumi Eashwarage<\/strong> clocked 55.00 in the girls&#8217; 100 freestyle, .07 ahead of runnerup <strong>Aria Grossenbach<\/strong> of the United States.
