​​Jacob Pebley​ has been a man on a mission since returning from the 2016 Olympics. Pebley, who finished 5th in the 200 Back in Rio with a time of 1:55.52, absolutely demolished the field in Austin this past weekend winning in 1:55.95. After the race, Pebley passionately admitted, "I was pretty bitter man, after the Olympics. Everyone was getting medals and I fell short." He continued, "I have been working my butt off to get back."​

If Pebley can throw down a 1:55 in January, this man is going to be scary fast this summer. It also doesn't hurt that he gets to train with ​Ryan Murphy​, Olympic champion in this event, everyday.
