At the 2015 World Championships Adrian had quite the lineup performing on both individual and relay spots. After a disappointing 4×100-meter free relay, where the American men didn’t advance to the final, Adrian focused on his individual events.
In the semi-final of the 50-meter free Adrian finally broke the six-year standing American Record previously held by Cullen Jones by 0.03 seconds. Adrian advanced to the final in first, but lost in the final to Florent Manadou. He also snuck into the final of the 100-meter free after finishing fifth overall in the semi-final. Adrian dropped .05 seconds in the final to grab a seventh-place finish.
Towards the end of the meet Adrian won a gold medal as the anchor leg of the 4×100-meter medley relay. Adrian swam the second-fastest split in the meet behind Australia’s Cameron McEvoy.
