SANTA CLARA, California, June 21. THE men’s 100-meter freestyle finale proved to be stacked at the Arena Grand Prix in Santa Clara, but that didn’t matter to California sprint star Nathan Adrian as he smoked the field.<\/p>\n

Adrian raced his way to a sizzling time of 48.17, just off his third-ranked season best of 48.08 from the Mare Nostrum in Barcelona. He won the sprint by more than half-a-second as Michael Phelps showed that he’s rounding into world-class form in all of his potential events pretty quickly. Phelps clocked a 48.80 for silver tonight, almost cracking the top 20 in the process.<\/p>\n

NBAC’s Conor Dwyer held off NYAC’s Adam Brown, 49.76 to 49.92, for third-place honors, while NBAC’s Yannick Agnel wound up fifth in 49.94. Califronia’s Anthony Ervin (50.03), Santo Condorelli (50.35), Auburn’s James Disney-May (50.44) and Auburn’s Marcelo Chierighini (50.94) also competed in the A final.<\/p>\n
