Bremerton’s Nathan Adrian won the 50-meter freestyle at the
Arena Pro Swim Series event in Santa Clara, California,
Saturday.
Adrian’s time of 21.97 was an in-season best and moved him to
eighth place in the world rankings for this year. He held off Bruno
Fratus of Brazil, who was the top seed, in 22.02. Russia’s Vladimir
Morozov was third in 22.27.
Adrian said with such a phenomenal field, he was happy to get his
hand on the wall first.
“Any time you pop under-22 (seconds), it’s good,” he said.
Adrian is slated to swim in the 100 free Sunday. He is the
defending champion in that event.
