Jarod Arroyo Cruises to TYR Pro Series 400 IM Win in Clovis
The second night of competition at the 2019 TYR Pro Swim Series Clovis featured five events for both men and women. Leah Smith and Akaram Mahmoud earned the first victories of the meet in the 800 Freestyle on night one.
Men’s 400 IM
Puerto Rico’s Jarod Arroyo was victorious in the men’s 400 IM with a 4:21.65. The time is a second faster than his previous best of 4:22.38 from April’s Puerto Rico International Swimming Open.
Arroyo pulled ahead on the breaststroke leg, out-splitting the field by over four seconds. He was near even with Guatemlla’s Erick Gordillo at the 200 mark, but ran away with the race.
Brodie Young (4:28.18) and Mexico’s Hector Ruvalcaba Cruz (4:28.63) had a race of their own for third and fourth. Mexican teammate Ricardo Vargas Jacobo was fifth in 4:30.36. He was followed by 16-year-old Jonathan Affeld (4:37.36), Jack Spitser (4:39.46) and Harrison Lierz (4:42.61).
