NBAC’s Chase Kalisz had just enough in the tank to touchout the field to win the men’s 200-meter fly at the Arena Pro Swim Series Charlotte.

Kalisz, who turned with most of the pack, chased down Andrew Seliskar and Gunnar Bentz to win the finale in 1:57.58.  That time is a second-and-a-half off the top times in the world currently anchored with a 10th-ranked 1:56.13 from Chad le Clos.

Seliskar, who looked to be the likely winner at around 175 meters, took second in 1:57.70.  Jack Conger chased down Bentz to take third in 1:58.23.  Bentz settled for fourth in 1:58.38.

Ioannis Drymonakos finished fifth in 1:59.61.

In a bit of a surprise, SwimMAC’s Tyler Clary (1:59.83) and NBAC’s Michael Phelps (2:00.77) struggled their way to sixth and seventh.

Dynamo’s Mick Litherland placed eighth overall in 2:00.82.

Club Wolverine’s Kyle Whitaker edged a close B final finish with a time of 2:00.11 for the win.  Ontario’s Zack Chetrat (2:00.26) and Tom Kremer (2:00.50) also were in the mix for the win.
