Canada’s Ryan Cochrane cruised his way to a Pan American Games record time in the men’s 1500-meter free as he’s definitely saving up some energy for the World Championships.
Cochrane, who is not shaved or tapered for this meet and already won the 400 free earlier, put in an easy speed time of 15:06.40 to win the metric mile. That swim crushed the Pan American Games mark of 15:12.33 set by Chip Peterson back in 2007, but is well short of Cochrane’s 10th-ranked season best of 15:01.41 from Trials.
USA’s Andrew Gemmell turned in a silver-winning time of 15:09.92, while Brazil’s Brandonn Almeida took home bronze in a time of 15:11.70. That’s a personal best for Almeida, while Gemmell has been as low as a 14:52.19.
El Salvador’s Marcelo Acosta (15:16.26), Canada’s Nelson Maitland (15:16.35), USA’s Ryan Feeley (15:19.99), Brazil’s Lucas Kanieski (15:23.91) and Colombia’s Mateo De Angulo (15:24.27) finished fourth through eighth in the timed final event.
