The 2019-20 TYR Pro Swim Series in Greensboro, North Carolina started Wednesday night with the heats of the 1500 free as Ashley Twichell won the women’s race at 16:11.19 and Zane Grothe won the men’s race at 15:18.71.
Women’s 1500 Free
Twichell is racing in her first pool meet since the 2019 World Championships where she was fourth in the 1500 at 15:54, which is her best time. Her in-season best is a 16:08 from the 2018 Pro Swim Series in Atlanta and she actually tied her time from the 2016 Pro Swim Series in Charlotte where she also swam a 16:11.19.
Twichell’s 5 Best In-Season Swims:
- 16:08.70, 2018 Atlanta PSS
- 16:09.80, 2018 Winter Nats
- 16:11.19, 2019 Greensboro PSS
- 16:11.19, 2016 Charlotte PSS
- 16:13.03, 2019 Knoxville PSS
Twichell trains nearby at the TAC Titans and is one of three swimmers to have already qualified for the 2020 Olympic Games next summer as she was sixth at the World Championships this summer in the 10K open water race, solidifying her spot for Tokyo. This will be her first Olympic appearance at 30-years-old.
Twichell grinded her way through the 1500 here in Greensboro as she finished ahead of Hannah Moore, who trains at nearby Wolfpack Elite in Raleigh. Moore swam a 16:32.84 for third place. Third place went to Kate Sanderson (16:39.68).

Men’s 1500 Free
Zane Grothe of Boulder City Henderson won the 1500 free to start off his long course season with a 15:18.71. He was off his in-season best all-time of 15:05 from the 2018 Indianapolis Pro Swim Series but it is the eighth fastest in-season 1500 he has had in his career. Grothe did however swim faster than his 15:21 at the World Championships as he is gearing up to try and make his first Olympic team in June at the Olympic Trials.
Grothe’s 8 Best In-Season Swims:
- 15:05.31, 2018 Indianapolis PSS
- 15:08.22, 2018 Mesa PSS
- 15:13.29, 2019 Des Moines PSS
- 15:13.29, 2016 Charlotte PSS
- 15:17.12, 2019 Bloomington PSS
- 15:17.34, 2018 Austin PSS
- 15:18.43, 2018 Santa Clara PSS
- 15:18.71, 2019 Greensboro PSS
Grothe, who has been swimming this fall for the DC Trident, got his first taste of long course action on Wednesday night in Greensboro and was untouched in the 1500. Chris Wieser (15:40.33) finished in second place ahead of Christian Bayo (15:43.31). 2017 National champion True Sweetser, who is taking an Olympic redshirt this year from Stanford and training at his hometown Gator Swim Club in Gainesville, placed sixth at 15:53.35.
