Freb Bousquet (FRA) beats the 50m free field @ Charlotte UltraSwim
Men’s 50 free
World record holder Fred Bousquet blazed by the field with a 21.33 for the U.S. Open record. That time cleared Garrett Weber-Gale’s U.S. Open record of 21.47 set last summer.
"I am very happy I came here to swim," Bousquet said. "I came here three to four years ago, and had such a good memory. When I heard all my Auburn teammates were coming, [SwimMAC head coach] David Marsh was good enough to get me in even though I was late to register."
SwimMAC’s Cullen Jones, who had the hometown crowd behind him, wound up taking second in 21.92. George Bovell claimed third in 22.01. All three swimmers obliterated Jones’ meet mark of 22.33 set in 2008
