IRVINE, California, August 9.
Greater Philadelphia’s Brendan McHugh, who set the U.S. Open record with a sixth-ranked 27.10 from this morning, got his hand on the wall first in 27.24 to punch his ticket to the 2015 World Championships. McHugh, currently a law student with a great back story, upset the favored Kevin Cordes of Tucson Ford. Cordes raced to second in 27.33 to take 10th in the world rankings.
Club Wolverine’s Zach Hayden (27.69), Tucson Ford’s Marcus Titus (27.76), Minnesota’s Jared Anderson (27.91), NYAC’s Mike Alexandrov (28.00), Bulldogs’ Nic Fink (28.01) and Cardinal’s Kameron Chastain (28.21) placed third through eighth. Titus set the deaf world record on the process.
