Trojan’s Conor Dwyer claimed some ever-valuable podium points with a win in the men’s 200-meter free at the Arena Pro Swim Series Charlotte.

Dwyer clocked a top time of 1:47.04 for the victory, moving to 13th in the world rankings with the swim.

Dion Dreesens overtook Marwan El Kamash, 1:47.47 to 1:47.73, as El Kamash had initially challenged Dwyer before Dreesens had just too much left in the tank down the stretch.

Brazil’s Joao De Lucca (1:49.72), Club Wolverine’s Connor Jaeger (1:50.35) and Club Wolverine’s Michael Wynalda (1:52.05) closed out the top eight.

Middle Eastern/Egyptian records for El Kamash in men’s 200 free. He gets down to 1:46 plus at Kazan he could make semis, maybe even final. Guess Ous Mellouli is African record-holder in 200, 400, 80 and 1500 frees plus the 400 IM ( South Africa’s Darian Townsend, now Swimmjng for Uncle Sam, holds African 200 IM standard w/ his 1:58-plus from a “few mons” ago.
