Zane Grothe established his dominance once again on the final night of the 2019 TYR Pro Swim Series in Bloomington. The only man under 8:00, Grothe created a race all his own, crashing the pads with a 7:53.40, 11 seconds faster than his closest competitor in Felix Auboeck (8:04.69). Mikey Calvillo (8:08.56) and Marcelo Acosta (8:08.72) engaged in a sprint race at the finish, with Calvillo ultimately gaining the edge to seize third. Eric Knowles put up an impressive swim, turning in an 8:14.02 to beat Johannes Callon (8:14.51). T.C. Smith and Gil Kiesler rounded out the heat with times of 8:18.41 and 8:20.47, respectively.
