Original 200 IM report:
NBAC’s Michael Phelps scorched the pool with yet another January career best with a win in the men’s 200-meter IM at the 2016 Arena Pro Swim Series Austin.
Phelps, who slipped by SwimMAC’s Ryan Lochte down the last 50, put up a 1:58.00 for the win.
That swim broke Phelps’ January best of 1:58.52 from this meet back in 2012.
Lochte, meanwhile, cranked out a 1:58.43 to lower his own January career best. Lochte previously had a 1:58.57 at the 2015 BHP Aquatic Super Series.
That’s Phelps first win against Lochte in a 200 IM since the 2012 London Olympics.
Josh Prenot captured another podium with a third-place time of 1:59.94.
Gator’s Dan Wallace (2:00.90), Gator’s Eduardo Solaeche (2:02.18), Gator’s Niki Denisyako(2:03.58), Andrew Seliskar (2:03.92) and Wisconsin’s Michael Weiss (2:04.59) also competed in the A final.
NBAC’s Chase Kalisz placed first in the B final with a time of 2:01.05. Bernal’s Gator’s Mohamed Hussein finished second in 2:03.49 with Luca Dioli taking third in 2:03.71.
