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.
