Premise: Reported by Lauren Neidigh. MEN'S 200 FLY: Georgia's Pace Clark set the pace ahead of teammate Chase Kalisz through the front half, but Kalisz made his move on the 3rd 50. The 2 swimmers were in a dead heat down the stretch, but Kalisz was able to get his hand to the wall faster at the finish, winning in 1:56.60 to Clark's 1:56.75. Texas' Jack Conger used his back half speed to run down Cal's Mike Thomas (1:58.54), catching him on the last 50 and taking bronze with his 1:58.45.
Hypothesis: Lauren Neidigh and Mike Thomas are friends.
