Adrian ties for second in 50 free prelims at Winter Nationals

After waiting around for the other events in the first morning session of the U.S. Winter Nationals, Nathan Adrian won his heat of the 50-meter freestyle rather convincingly Thursday at the King County Aquatic Center in Federal Way.

Adrian touched the wall in 22.29 seconds, second overall and tied with Brad Tandy. The finals will include Josh Schneider, Anthony Ervin, Paul Powers, Geoff Cheah, Matt Grevers, Cullen Jones and Santo Condorelli.

The finals are at 6 p.m. If you’re unable to attend the nationals you can watch the lifestream via usaswimmin.org here.
