By Phillip Whitten<\/p>\n

IRVINE, Calif., August 4. IN the prelims of the men\u2019s 200-meter backstroke this morning, only Club Wolverine\u2019s Christian DeJong could manage a sub-two minute performance. And that was just barely, at 1:59.96.<\/p>\n

In tonight\u2019s final he remained the only swimmer able to go under two minutes this day, but he stroked to a much faster 1:58.25, a lifetime best by half a second that was good for a two second victory over Typhoon Aquatics\u2019 Chad Barlow (2:00.20).<\/p>\n

Barlow led through the 50 (28.33 to DeJong\u2019s 28.49) and 100 (58.43 to 58.44) before DeJong opened up a lead on the third 50 and iced his victory on the final lap.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis was a milestone for me,\u201d DeJong said, \u201cmy first national title.\u201d<\/p>\n

Commenting on training with Michael Phelps, he said: \u201cSwimming with Michael has helped raise my swimming to a new level.\u201d<\/p>\n

Auburn Aquatics\u2019 Doug Van Wie, expected to challenge DeJong, finished strongly to place third (2:00.91) but was never a factor in the race.<\/p>\n

After the race, DeJong announced that he has withdrawn from the World University Games due to concern over terrorist bombings in Turkey, where the Games will be held.<\/p>\n
