Ryan Lochte drew a rare false start disqualification during the 100-meter fly tonight at the 2015 Arena Pro Swim Series Minneapolis. So rare, in fact, that Lochte is pretty sure tonight was the first time since 1999 that he was disqualified in a race.
Original 200 free report:
Trojan’s Conor Dwyer finished a second back of Michael Phelps’ pool record in the men’s 200-meter free at the 2015 Arena Pro Swim Series Minneapolis.
Dwyer hit the wall in a top time of 1:47.88 to collect the first-place prize. That’s a full second off Phelps’ pool record of 1:46.88 from 2011. The time also finished a second back of Dwyer’s 15th-ranked season best of 1:46.64 from Worlds.
SwimMAC’s Ryan Lochte chased down second place with a time of 1:48.66, while Cardinals’ Joao De Lucca rounded out the podium with a third-place effort of 1:49.06.
SESI’s Giovanny Lima (1:49.87), Wisconsin’s Michael Weiss (1:50.12), Louisville’s Trevor Carroll (1:50.26), Louisville’s Matthias Lindenbauer(1:50.35) and Club Wolverine’s Bobby Hurley (1:50.36) finished fourth through eighth.
UBCD’s Markus Thormeyer touched out NBAC’s Michael Phelps in the consolation heat, 1:50.28 to 1:50.39. That’s a rare finish for Phelps even though he’s coming down from intense altitude training in Colorado Springs.Yuri Kisil took third for UBCD in 1:51.00.

Original 100 fly report:
Phoenix’s Giles Smith downed a stacked men’s 100-meter fly final at the 2015 Arena Pro Swim Series Minneapolis.
Smith raced his way to a winning time of 52.57, just a bit off Kohei Kawamoto’s pool record of 51.71 from 2008. There’s a bit of irony there in that Kawamoto swam for the previous iteration of the Phoenix Swim Club called BEST before the club disassociated itself with Brophy in Phoenix.
Canyons’ Santo Condorelli picked up silver with a time of 52.58, while superstar Michael Phelps snared third overall in 52.99 just days after the release of a tell-all article in Sports Illustrated.
Club Seminole’s Pavel Sankovich (53.25), Tucson Ford’s Masa Kishida(53.48), SwimMAC’s Matt Josa (54.09) and Indie’s Michael Andrew (55.65) also swam in the finale.
SwimMAC’s Ryan Lochte was disqualified.
Santa Clara’s Kyler Van Swol topped the consolation heat in a time of 53.51 with Clovis’ Carl Weigley claiming second in 53.85.

False start. No big deal. Now if FINA and not USA swimming was involved with his underwater mechanics ban and DQ’d him, an appeal would be in order.
