 Agnel, the Olympic 200m freestyle champion, touched in 49.37
seconds, with his North Baltimore training partner Phelps second in
49.42.
Ryan Lochte was third in 49.63, but the American fared better in the
200m individual medley, winning in 1:58.65.
Agnel was the only person to beat Phelps during the Bulldog Grand
Slam meet at the University of Georgia, after the 18-time Olympic
champion won the 100m butterfly on Friday and the 100m backstroke on
Saturday.
 The 100m freestyle times by Agnel and Phelps were a long way outside
the world best time of 2014 by Australian James Magnussen of 47.59.
Phelps has never dominated the event, and was using the race as part
of his preparation for next month’s U.S. nationals and, hopefully,
the Pan Pacific Championships in Australia.
