​Chase Kalisz ​just obliterated the 400 IM in a monster time of 3:33.42 -- destroying his own NCAA, Meet, American, & US Open record of 3:34.50 from 2014. It was evident Kalisz was going to pop something special when he was out first at the 200 mark (1:43.68) as he is typically a much stronger back half swimmer. The Georgia senior did not stop there, though. He unloaded on the breaststroke leg, splitting a 58.61 to blow his already significant lead wide open. Touching second in a great swim out of lane eight was ​Andrew Seliskar ​of California in 3:36.18 and dueling him five lanes over in lane three was last night's 200 IM co-champion ​Mark Szaranek​ of Florida in 3:36.31.​
