Fadden placed fifth in the opening prelim heat at the SPIRE Institute, running a time of 21.42 seconds. The fourth-place finisher posted the same time but was awarded the higher place when the clocking was stretched out to thousandths of a second, 21.411 to 21.415.

The Grinnell sprinter finished 13th overall in the race. Sam Blaskowski of the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse had the fastest prelim time of 20.56.
