As foretold by the heat sheets, Zane Grothe kicked off the men’s side of the Bloomington TYR Pro Series with a decisive victory in the 1500 free. Coming out aggressively in the first half of the race, Grothe maintained his speed until crashing the pads at the finish with an impressive 15:17.12.
With Louisville’s Marcelo Acosta (15:28.66) at his hip for the first 750 meters, Grothe was not in for an easy back half. Instead of panicking and hitting the gas too early, however, Grothe adhered to his intelligent race strategy. As Acosta began to lose steam, Grothe continued to post mid-30 splits at each wall, building his lead and prepping for his 27.14 final 50.
Ricardo Vargas was not to be ignored, as he managed to stay with the pack throughout the race, touching in less than two seconds after Acosta with a 15:30.04. Mikey Calvillo brought in the second wave, surging home to post a 15:40.94, the last man under the Olympic Trials cut. Will Roberts broke into the top five with a 15:46.91 to beat Ford Blaylock (15:55.16), who edged out Jake Mitchell (15:56.67) in a sprint-like race to the finish. Hayden Curley rounded out a loaded heat with a time of 16:07.66 in the far lane.
