IRVINE, Calif., August 5. Men's 400 I.M. CHECK list:<\/p>\n

PHELPS, Michael. Absent
\nLOCHTE, Ryan. Absent.
\nMARGALIS, Robert. Present<\/p>\n

That\u2019s all anyone needed to know. Robert Margalis, an NCAA champion in the 400 IM, has played bridesmaid to Phelps and Lochte many a time. Too many times, from Robert\u2019s point of view. But they were not on the blocks tonight. Margalis was. He saw his opportunity and he seized it.<\/p>\n

This was the 23 year-old Floridian\u2019s race from the start. He never trailed and he never wavered, adding about a second or so for the first three legs of the medley, then reeling it in on the final leg to hold on for the victory 4:18.86.<\/p>\n

Eighteen year-old Brazilian Lucas Salatta, who swims for Pine Crest, overcame a slow start to place second in 4:19.54 while Wisconsin\u2019s Tim Liebhold was third in 4:20.86.<\/p>\n

Adam Mitchell of Minnesota won the C final in 4:24.83, a time that would have placed him sixth in the championship heat.<\/p>\n
