Phelps Dominates Nationals With Two Wins In Indy
Michael Phelps dazzled at the U S National Championships in Indianapolis winning two events within an hour. He swam 53.01 in the 400 back to fall just three hundredths from Aaron Peirsol's world mark and set a meet record in the 200 freestyle at 1 44 98. Bowman said Phelps could go faster, noting little race-specific prep.
