26-year-old Zane Grothe won the 400 free on Thursday night in Des Moines at the TYR Pro Swim Series as he swam a 3:49.29. He was in a tight race with Anton Ipsen as he finished in second at 3:49.83.
Grothe and Ipsen moved to second and third in the world rankings behind Italian Gabriele Detti (3:47.60). Grothe is the new face of distance swimming in the United States as he will represent Team USA at Worlds this summer in the 400, 800 and 1500.
23-year-old Mitch D’Arrigo (3:53.46) was with the leaders through 300 but fell off over the final 100 as the Gator Swim Club product finished in third. He was just ahead of Reed Malone (3:53.83), who has resurfaced recently after seemingly retiring after the 2017 NCAAs. Malone was last on the USA national team in 2015 when he swam third leg on the 4×200 free relay at World Championships.
Jordan Wilimovsky (3:55.37), Jay Litherland (3:55.72), Jeremy Bagshaw (3:55.72) and Luiz Melo (4:03.07) also swam in the A-Final.
