Louis Croenen cleared 2:00 to capture the men\u2019s 200-meter fly title tonight at the Arena Pro Swim Series Mesa.<\/p>\n

Croenen clocked a winning time of 1:59.61. \u00a0That\u2019s well back of the top 10 in the world anchored by Chad le Clos with a 1:56.13 from Durban, but was fast enough for the win tonight.<\/p>\n

Louis Croenen, 200 fly:<\/strong>
\n\u201cIt was a really hard race. It\u2019s amazing to swim under 2:00. It\u2019s my first time (in USA), beautiful weather. I\u2019m excited to be here. (Swimming is) not that popular (in Belgium), but we\u2019re working on it. We have a great team right now, and we\u2019re hoping to get better.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
