Alamedan Ben Krause Competes Against The Likes of Michael Phelps at Santa Clara Grand Prix

Alameda Islander and AHS swimmer Ben Krause competed against some of the best swimmers in the world at last weekend's Grand Prix in Santa Clara.

Krause qualified in 3 events: 400 meter free (4:22.04), 400 meter IM (4:54.07), and 200 meter fly (2:10.66.) These were not his best times but the Grand Prix didn't line up with his training schedule. We might see him in the Grand Prix finals one of these days though.

It's a small venue so it must have been very exciting to see so many Olympians compete up close.

Here is a video of the 200 meter fly finals:

Thanks to the Krause family for the great pics!
