California’s Nathan Adrian beat a loaded final to win the men’s 100-meter free at the Arena Pro Swim Series Charlotte.

Adrian had a tremendous turn to be able to hold off the field with a 48.85.

Italy’s Marco Orsi, who is ranked ninth in the world with a 48.50, took second tonight in 49.06.  Brazil’s Joao De Lucca turned in a 49.21 to finish third.

Luca Dotto (49.32), Marcelo Chierighini (49.38), Josh Schneider (49.81), Conor Dwyer (49.90) and Geoffrey Cheah (50.36) finished fourth through eighth in the final.

California’s Tom Shields touched out teammate Anthony Ervin, 49.88 to 49.91, for the B final win.  Ervin had led through the initial 99-meters before Shields picked up the win at the touch.

NBAC’s Michael Phelps completed a B final double with a 49.96 to tie Michele Santucci for third in the consolation heat.  Phelps could have scratched the two B finals, but definitely put on a show for fans by still taking part this evening.
