David Cromwell of Longhorn Aquatics (Harvard 06) took the men’s 200m back in 1:59.32, followed by Doug Van Wie of Auburn in 2:00.35 and Matt Thompson of Dallas Mustangs in 2:01.38. David's time was the third fastest time in the world going into World Championships in Australia.
“I wanted to go as far under two minutes as I could,” Cromwell said. “But Doug Van Wie and I have been pushing each other lately, and I knew it was just going to be a really good race between us. I just wanted to put myself in a good position to win, and I knew if I could be in a good position after the 150, I knew I had a pretty good chance.” (from USA Swimming website)
