Chetrat was followed by Coleman Allen of VAND, who stayed nearly two and a half body lengths apart and surfaced on the finishing wall as bronze medallist by clocking a time of 2 minutes and 03.05 seconds.
The bronze medallist was followed by Brayden Salmon of LAC, who remained just 0.27 seconds slower and settled on the finishing end as fourth position holder by posting a time of 2 minutes and 03.32 seconds.
Subsequently, Salmon remained just 0.01 seconds lucky from Kevin Nelson of CASC, who secured fifth fastest spot of the event by producing a time of 2 minutes and 03.33 seconds.
Sixth position of the discipline was secured by Pierre-Alexan Renaud of PPO, who stayed nearly 0.70 seconds slower from his foregoing finisher and tapped the wall with an effort of 2 minutes and 04.08 seconds.
Renaud was followed by Thomas Jobin of ESWIM, who stayed 0.43 seconds apart and tapped the wall with an effort of 2 minutes and 04.51 seconds for seventh position.
Jobin was followed by Mohamed Eldah of Crusaders, who was just 0.10 seconds behind and occupied eighth position of the discipline by posting a time of 2 minutes and 04.61 seconds.
