NBAC’s Chase Kalisz had more in the tank in the men’s 200-meter fly as he overtook superstar training partner Michael Phelps for the win at the 2015 Arena Pro Swim Series Minneapolis.

With Phelps out in 56.04 to lead at the halfway mark, Kalisz powered home with a winning time of 1:58.07. That’s still not a super fast time at this part of the season, but still showed some racing ability against the greatest of all time.

Phelps settled for silver with a time of 1:58.38 as he finished just behind Kalisz.

Mission Viejo’s Grant Shoults took third overall in 2:00.41, while Nashville’s Dakota Hodgson placed fourth in 2:00.64.

Princeton’s Corey Okubo (2:00.66), SwimMAC’s Tyler Clary (2:00.81), Missouri’s Mack Darragh (2:01.19) and Club Wolverine’s Michael Flach (2:01.83) also swam in the finale.

Northern Kentucky’s Brendan Meyer took home the consolation heat win in 2:01.72 with Gator’s Sebastien Rousseau snaring second in 2:02.10. Santa Clara’s Kyler Van Swol picked up third in 2:02.83.
