Missouri’s Sam Tierney was the surprise winner in the men’s 100-meter breaststroke at the 2015 Arena Pro Swim Series Minneapolis.

With bigger names like Cody Miller and Felipe Lima in the mix, Tierney still managed to get his hand on the wall first in 1:00.82. That broke the pool record of 1:01.02 set by Carlos Claverie this morning, which broke the previous mark of 1:01.13 set by Brendan Hansen in 2011.

Miller, who has a 59.51 to his credit from the Santa Clara stop of the Arena Pro Swim Series last season, finished second in 1:00.86. Claverie settled for third in 1:01.19.

Indie’s Michael Andrew missed the 15-16 national age group mark with a 1:01.25 for fourth.

Felipe Lima (1:01.35), Club Wolverine’s Richard Funk (1:01.66), Limmat Sharks’ Yannick Kaiser (1:01.82) and Longhorn’s Andrew Wilson (1:02.66) claimed fifth through eighth.

Bulldog’s Nic Fink topped the B final in a time of 1:01.82 with Wisconsin’s Nick Schafer close behind with a 1:01.96. BJ Johnson wound up third in 1:02.24.
