What a race! As expected, Townley Haas, Dylan Carter, and Blake Pieroni separated themselves from the field early on. Carter of Southern Cal looked great through the 75, crushing Haas off the walls and underwater. But Townley out-swam him on the surface. Flipping first at the 100 in 43.74, Haas was able to hold off Carter and a hard-charging Pieroni to take the win in 1:30.65 -- just two tenths of a second off of his all-time record of 1:30.46 from 2016. Carter and Pieroni ended up tying for second in 1:31.16 and Dean Farris of Harvard touched for fourth in 1:32.25.
