Michael Andrew on Moving Away From 200 IM: "Too hard of a hill to climb"
Swimming
In his first meet back after moving to Hawaii to reunite with his father, Michael Andrew impressed in his pared-down sprint lineup. He won the 50 fly (23.10) and 50 Breast (27:00) while also swimming in the A-final of the 50 back, 50 free, and 100 breast. Andrew said he is happy with the training and lifestyle that the move has afforded him so far.
When asked about swimming the 200 IM, Andrew was candid in admitting that he doesn't think he will be competing in it moving forward. After going a 1:55.1 in 2021 and making the Olympic final, the 28-year-old says he is now happy focusing on shorter events, especially with the 50s of stroke now being in the LA2028 Olympic lineup.
