In London in 2012 Connor Jaeger was sixth in the 1500. Saturday morning, he was the only swimmer under 15 minutes, clocking a 14:58.59. That was his season’s best, good for 14th in the world this year. Jordan Wilimovsky swam a 14:53.12 at the Mesa stop of the Arena Pro Swim Series. That time put the open water Olympian sixth in the world this year.
Jaeger lead for most of the race with Wilimovsky sitting on the lane rope by his hip. For parts of the final 300 meters Wilimovsky crept upwards. Jaeger brought his speed to another level in the final 150 meters and pulled ahead. The Michigan man touched first in 14:47.61 to move to fourth in the world this year.
Wilimovsky touched the wall in 14:49.19. He’ll leave Omaha as the sixth best in the world this year and head to Rio with the mile and the open water 10K on his schedule.
Michael McBroom finished third in 15:06.60, just three seconds ahead of Tuscon Ford’s Chris Wieser in 15:09.70.
