Ryan Lochte emerged victorious from a loaded men’s 200-meter IM finale with a near season best at the Arena Pro Swim Series Mesa.

Lochte clocked a winning effort of 1:58.70, just off his eighth-ranked time of 1:58.57 from the BHP Super Series.  That’s his first win of the meet after a pair of silvers so far here in Mesa.

Conor Dwyer, the series leaders, piled on some more podium points with a silver-winning time of 1:59.04 to rank 13th in the world.

Superstar Michael Phelps moved to just outside the top 20 in the world with a third-place effort of 2:00.01.

Uvis Kalnins (2:02.50), Matt Josa (2:04.19), Louisville’s Carlos Claverie (2:05.45), SwimMAC’s Marko Blazevski (2:05.58) and NBAC’s Austin Surhoff (2:05.64) rounded out the rest of the finale.

Simon Frank topped the B final in a time of 2:05.56, while NBAC’s Alpkan Ornek took second in the consolation heat in 2:06.03.
