INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Michael Phelps has qualified fastest for the 200-meter freestyle in his first event at the U.S. national swimming championships.
The 14-time Olympic gold medalist was timed in 1 minute, 46.31 seconds in Wednesday's preliminaries at the Indiana University Natatorium.
Phelps advanced to the evening final, when he'll swim for a berth in the world championships later this month in Rome. Also moving on were Olympians Peter Vanderkaay, who was 11-hundredths of a second behind Phelps, Ryan Lochte and Ricky Berens.
Later today, Phelps will swim the 200 butterfly preliminaries.
