Connor Jaeger used a powerful finishing kick to pull away from Jordan Wilimovsky in the final event of the U.S. Olympic swimming trials, winning the 1,500-meter freestyle Sunday night.

It was a two-man race all the way. By the end, no one was within a half-lap of the leaders.

Jaeger got a strong kick off the next-to-last wall and began to get some separation on his only challenger. Pulling away on the final lap, he finished in 14 minutes, 47.
