IRVINE, California, August 9.<\/p>\n

Tucson Ford\u2019s Matt Grevers, who already won the 50 fly earlier this week, took home the gold in the 100 with a 52.75. \u00a0That\u2019s the third-best in the world this year, behind only Xu Jiayu (52.34) and Ryosuke Irie (52.57). \u00a0Grevers will be putting on a show in Australia later this month at the Pan Pacific Championships squad.<\/p>\n

California\u2019s Ryan Murphy, just 19, blistered the rest of the field with a 53.21 to take second tonight. \u00a0That swim was just off his 53.20 from prelims that ranks him seventh in the world. \u00a0SwimMAC\u2019s Nick Thoman rounded out the top three with a 53.46 to tie Mitch Larkin for eighth in the world.<\/p>\n

NYAC\u2019s David Plummer, the 50 back winner, took fourth in 53.57 with California\u2019s Jacob Pebley placing fifth in 53.90.<\/p>\n

NBAC\u2019s Michael Phelps, who made the Pan Pacs roster via the 100 fly last night with a second-place finish to Tom Shields, had some trouble in the 100 back with a sixth-place 53.95. \u00a0He hit the lane line several times and could not find his typical back-half speed.<\/p>\n

Stanford\u2019s Eugene Godsoe (54.66) and Indiana\u2019s James Wells (55.41) placed seventh and eighth.<\/p>\n

Shane Ryan shot to 18th in the world with a 53.90 to win the B final. \u00a0Machine\u2019s Jack Conger hit the wall second in 55.26 with Wisconsin\u2019s Drew teDuits placing third in 55.34.<\/p>\n

Michael Andrew, the 15-year-old pro swimmer, picked up another heat win this week after his first junior national title last week. \u00a0Andrew clocked a 55.73 to tie his personal best to win the C final. \u00a0BlueFish\u2019s Connor Green earned second in 56.13 with Ethan Young of Carpet Capital taking third in 56.15.<\/p>\n
