Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 open-water qualifier Jordan Wilimovsky took the men’s 1500m Freestyle A Final in 15:15.28, good for the second-fastest swim by an American in 2021. Will Gallant and Marwan El-Kamash finished second and third respectively.
For Wilimovsky, the win gave him the second TYR Pro Swim Series win of his career. His time shaved 15 seconds from his previous performance in the mile, which came at the 2020 Toyota U.S. Open last November.
“It was fun,” Wilimovsky said. “I was just doing training camp with three of the six guys that swam tonight so we were joking before, we did a 1500 fast last week and the one before that, so it was just like another day at practice. It was fun to get some racing in.”
