NYAC’s Josh Schneider, who has been surging the past few months, topped a loaded field in the men’s 50-meter free at the Arena Pro Swim Series Charlotte.

Schneider vaulted his way to fifth in the world with a smoking time of 21.96. That effort tied Marco Orsi’s 21.96 from Spanish Nationals.

Only Florent Manaudou (21.57), Vlad Morozov (21.65), Bruno Fratus (21.74) and Cesar Cielo (21.84) have been faster this year.

Cielo, meanwhile, wound up taking second tonight in 22.05, while California’s Nathan Adrian managed to turn an eighth-seed into a paycheck with a third-place time of 22.19.

Bruno Fratus (22.22), Orsi (22.44), Anthony Ervin (22.58), Cullen Jones (22.68) and Renzo Tjon A Joe (22.86) also were part of a multiple Olympian international field.

Italy’s Luca Dotto dominated the field in the B final with a time of 22.40.
