Ryan swims prelims of 400m free relay

I was wrong about Ryan not swimming the prelims of the 400m free relay. He swam second in a time of 48.28. The good news is the US made the finals finishing 2nd overall after France.

I don't know if Ryan will be in the finals though, which is disappointing. The US splits were:

Garrett Weber-Gale: 48.49

Ryan Lochte: 48.28

Scot Robison: 48.62

David Walters: 48.11

Ryan had the second fastest time, which probably means he won't be in the finals with Michael Phelps, Jason Lezak and Nathan Adrian. It will probably be either David Walters, who had the fastest time, or Garrett Weber-Gale, who had the most impressive time given it wasn't a relay start.
