Zane Grothe and Marcelo Acosta battled it out through the men’s 800, with the two neck and neck for much of the race before Grothe put some distance between the two over the final 200 meters. Grothe ended up with the win tonight, touching first in 7:55.78. Acosta couldn’t quite match Grothe’s pace coming home, but he ended in second also under 8:00 with a 7:59.17.
That was just off of Grothe’s season best from the Des Moines stop of the TYR Pro Swim Series, where he finished in 7:54.28. In third was NC State’s Gil Keisler (8:07.00), followed by True Sweetser (8:08.99), who is swimming under Gator Swim Club.
