NBAC’s Conor Dwyer, the series points leader, claimed a valuable first-place finish in the men’s 200-meter free at the Arena Pro Swim Series Mesa.

Dwyer posted a top time of 1:48.28 for the win, while SwimMAC’s Ryan Lochte touched nearly a full second back with a time of 1:49.28. SwimMAC’s Tyler Clary rounded out a star-studded podium with a third-place time of 1:49.85.

“I’m happy with how I am coming off the altitude camp. I couldn’t see him (Ryan Lochte) too much with the sun. I just tried to swim my own race and stay long. I like catching some sun, but if it’s a taper meet I like being indoors.”

Those times are well off the top 10 in the world currently anchored by James Guy with a 1:46.94 from the Speedo Flanders Cup.

Club Wolverine’s Michael Klueh posted a fourth-place time of 1:50.73 with Dion Dreesens in fifth in 1:50.76.

Emmanuel Vanluchene (1:51.81), Tiger’s Craig Hamilton (1:51.85) and The Woodlands’ Michael McBroom (1:52.35) comprised the rest of the championship heat.

NBAC’s Frank Dyer turned in a 1:51.15 to win the B final, while SMU’s Christian Scherubl clocked a time of 1:51.37 in what proved to be a close finish.
