After falling behind early on, Connor Jaeger had a strong back half to touch the wall first in the men’s 400 free to qualify for his second Olympic Games.

His final time of 3:43.79 was just shy of Larsen Jensen’s U.S. Open record of 3:43.53 set back in 2008.

Jaeger talked to the media after his race, discussing how he thought he was out of the race at the halfway mark.
