Review: Cody Miller sets meet record at 2019 Toyota U.S. Open, wins big (Includes first-hand account)

Cody Miller triumphed in the men’s 200 meter breaststroke final, where he won with a time of 2:09.67, which is a U.S. Open meet record.

He bested Dmitriy Balandin who came in second place clocking 2:09.71, and fellow breaststroker Andrew Wilson, who finished in third place with a time of 2:10.10.

Regarding his win in the men’s 200 meter breaststroke, Miller expressed that he was really happy with his performance.

“My time is kind of irrelevant right now I think. I just don’t put a whole lot of stock into those things,” he said, prior to noting that it’s “just a matter of racing the field because every time you get behind the blocks, you just don’t know what is going to happen so you race the field.” “Tonight, was a good race for me,” he admitted.

“It’s been wild,” Miller said. “It’s a roller coaster, there are a lot of highs and also a lot of lows and I think it’s important for everyone to just know that. The best swimmers in the pool have bad days and bad races, and thankfully today was a good race,” he explained.

On the previous night, he finished in third place in the men’s 100 meter breaststroke final with a time of 59.92 seconds, behind Andrew Wilson (59.54 seconds) and Dmitriy Balandin (59.36 seconds).

This fall, Miller was a part of the inaugural International Swimming League (ISL), where he competed for the DC Trident, and served as Vice-Captain of the team.
