U.S. National Team members Zane Grothe and Cody Miller each competed this weekend at the Senior Metropolitan Zones Winter Championships in East Meadow, N.Y., and both recorded multiple impressive swims over the four-day event.
Grothe won four events: the 200 free (1:36.23), 500 free (4:15.05), 1000 free (8:43.00) and 1650 free (14:29.05). That time in the 1000 improved the 24-year-old to seventh all-time in the event, and his mile is good for tenth on the all-time list.
Impressed, Miller weighed in on Twitter.
Grothe also finished second in the 100 free (43.98) and 100 fly (48.07), finishing behind former Stanford star Eugene Godsoe in the later event. In addition to the 100 fly (48.02), Godsoe also won the 100 back (47.91) in East Meadow.
Miller, who like Grothe trains at Indiana but was representing Badger Swim Club, won the 100 breast in a meet-record time of 52.56 and later won the 200 breast in 1:53.15, also a meet record. Miller also won the 200 IM (1:47.04) and finished third in the 100 fly (48.41) behind Godsoe and Grothe. He also won the B-final of the 50 free in 20.60.
