Cody Miller, who suffered through a rough 2018 with a knee injury, came back strong with a win against a strong 100 breaststroke field.
He edged 2018 Phillips 66 National Champion Michael Andrew 59.24 to 59.52, while Anton McGee of Iceland was more than a full second back in third place.
“That race meant a lot to me because I had a really rough year last year and had a really gnarly knee injury and was doing really crappy for a long time – probably the worst season I’ve ever had,” Miller said. “To come back from that and swim well in my home pool, and as Rowdy (Gaines) said, ‘put up a top-10 time in the world,’ is pretty cool this early in the summer. I’m just really stoked right now, and it was a fast field. Michael (Andrew) swam really well, my teammate Ian (Finnerty) was killing it, so it was a really good group effort. It was a really fun race.”
