GAINSEVILLE, Fla. – Brennan Gravley claimed gold in the men’s 10k and give Team USA a sweep in the open water competition on Sunday afternoon in Santiago, Chile.
The former Gator swam a 1:50.23.4 to finish ahead of Argentina’s Franco Cassini, who finished just two tenths of a second behind in 1:50.23.6.
“I was in the front for a long time, which I don’t usually do too much. It was peaceful out there and the conditions were really good,” Brennan Gravley said. “All the guys were really competitive at the end and I enjoyed it. I am not super confident in my finishing speed, so I just tried to keep my head down and keep my head on the finish.”
