Michael Phelps called it “just a 100” this afternoon, but he sure didn’t approach it that way as he captured the men’s 100-meter free title at the Arena Pro Swim Series Mesa.<\/p>\n

Phelps threw down a sizzling 49.72 to touchout longtime rival Ryan Lochte, who placed second overall in 49.77. \u00a0They both still have plenty of time to drop to catch up to the top 20 times in the world currently anchored by Calum Jarvis’ 48.93.<\/p>\n

Conor Dwyer snagged more podium points with a third-place effort of 50.02, while Venezuela’s Emmanuel Vanluchene touched fourth in 50.22.<\/p>\n

Renzo Tjon A Joe (50.26), NYAC’s Josh Schneider (50.34), Tucson Ford’s Matt Grevers (50.73) and SwimMAC’s Tim Phillips (50.73) placed fifth through eighth.<\/p>\n

Scottsdale’s Ryan Hoffer earned the B final win in a time of 50.82, while AJAX’s Javier Acevedo touched just behind in 50.90 for second. \u00a0Chris Szekely (50.93) and Frank Dyer (50.95) also had a shot at the end.<\/p>\n
