Michael Andrew Leads Talented 100 Breast Field in TYR Pro Swim Series
19-year-old Michael Andrew won the 100 breast on Thursday night at the TYR Pro Swim Series in Des Moines as he finished ahead of a very talented breaststroke field in Iowa. The men’s breaststroke fields are always tight in the United States as Andrew finished ahead of Great Britain’s James Wilby (59.91) and American Cody Miller (1:00.22).
Wilby was the second fastest man in the world in 2018 behind world record holder Adam Peaty as those two went 1-2 at European Championships last summer.
Miller is swimming in his first Pro Swim Series of the year as he is coming back from an injury that he has detailed in his vlogs.
33-year-old Felipe Lima (1:00.42) finished in fourth place as the Brazilian finished ahead of two Bulldogs Nic Fink (1:00.46) and Andrew Wilson (1:00.56).
Miguel de Lara Ojeda (1:01.18) and Nils Wich-Glasen (1:01.56) also competed in the A-Final.
