Keller, Phelps Win on Day Two of Domino’s Classic

ANN ARBOR, Mich., May 18. KLETE Keller made sure this evening that Michael Phelps wouldn't win 'em all.

Keller, the former USC star, triple NCAA champ and American record-holder in the 400 meter freestyle who's now training with Coach Jon Urbancek's Club Wolverine squad, showed North Baltimore's Phelps he's still a force to be reckoned with in the 200 free.

Keller raced to his first gold of the Domino's Pizza Classic, a 1:51.83 – 1:52.36 victory. On opening night Phelps upset Keller, winner of the last two NCAA 500 frees, by splashing to gold in the 400 free.

Tonight Keller was in no mood to be No. 2 again. After trailing Phelps at the 50 (26.88 – 27.08), he took off and led for the balance of the race. At
100 meters he was first, 55.52 – 55.69; at 150 it was a 1:23.87 – 1:24.67 margin, and at the end he won by .53, 1:51.83 – 1:52.36.

However, Noth Baltimore's Phelps was coming off his third consecutive gold, which he earned just earlier with a 4:19.95 – 4:22.38 400 IM win over Olympian Tom Wilkens of Santa Clara. That winning time is among the world leaders for 2002 but far from his pr of 4:15.20, which he swam at last spring's World Championship Trials in Austin.

Phelps' IM time ended up ranking him fourth globally for the year and is (of course) a 15-16 national age-group record too.

"I was a little upset [Friday night] to get beat in my main event," Keller said. "But I'm not in the best shape right now so it was a good time and a good race. I had to do it tonight for his (Phelps') own good so his head doesn't get too big," Keller added, laughing.
"It was a great race."

Lake Erie's Alyssa Kiel won her second event with a 5:00.34 in the 400 IM, just ahead of North Baltimore's Amanda Dunnigan's 5:01.11. Lake Erie is the same team that produced Sydney Olympian Diana Munz.

Mary DeScenza (Academy Bullets), the national high-school leader in the 100 yard butterfly and a member of the United States' World Championship team last season, was an easy winner in her specialty — 1:01.32 to former University of Kentucky All-America and Goodwill Games gold medalist Rachel Komisarz's 1:02.68.

In the men's fly race, Japanese Olympian Takashi Yamamoto, holder of the Asian records at both 100-200 meters (52.55/1:55.84) and a World Championship finalist in the 200, won in 53.49.

Yamamoto trains for much of the year with the powerhouse Canadian club Region of Waterloo in Waterloo, Ontario. ROW is coached by former Fullerton
Area Swim Team headman Bud McAlister. McAlister counts among his proteges a certain former quadruple Olympic gold medalist who still holds world records
in the 400-800-1500 meter freestyles, American records in the 500-1000-1650 yard freestyles plus innumerable age-group marks.

Oh, this swimmer's name?

Janet Evans.

Former University of Georgia All-America, U.S.record-holder and Olympian/World Champion medalist Kristy Kowal, swimming for Coach Jack Bauerle's Athens Bulldogs, and Mike Brown of Team Eosa were 100 breast
winners in 1:10.49-1:04.89, respectively.

Kowal's former Georgia teammate Stefanie Williams, training with Foxcatcher and runner-up in last night's 50 free, struck gold in the 200 in 2:03.57. Komisarz's 2:04.53 was good for the silver.

The women's 100 back went to Ernestown's Elizabeth Wycliffe (1:03.30 to ROW's Jennifer Fratesi's 1:04.06). The men's race saw gold go to Canadian
Tobias Oriwol in 57.89.

University of Georgia sophomore-to-be Robert Margalis, also a member of the U.S. WC team last summer, swam to a pair of solid thirds in the 400 IM (4:31.12) and the 200 free afer taking bronze in the 400 last night.
Michigan soph Brendan Nelligan, last spring's Big 10 Freshman of the Year for his win in 1650 free at the conference meet plus his third in the 400 IM and fourth in the 500, won the 400 IM consols in 4:44+.
