Phoenix’s Giles Smith downed a stacked men’s 100-meter fly final at the 2015 Arena Pro Swim Series Minneapolis.

Smith raced his way to a winning time of 52.57, just a bit off Kohei Kawamoto’s pool record of 51.71 from 2008. There’s a bit of irony there in that Kawamoto swam for the previous iteration of the Phoenix Swim Club called BEST before the club disassociated itself with Brophy in Phoenix.

Canyons’ Santo Condorelli picked up silver with a time of 52.58, while superstar Michael Phelps snared third overall in 52.99 just days after the release of a tell-all article in Sports Illustrated.

Club Seminole’s Pavel Sankovich (53.25), Tucson Ford’s Masa Kishida (53.48), SwimMAC’s Matt Josa (54.09) and Indie’s Michael Andrew (55.65) also swam in the finale.

SwimMAC’s Ryan Lochte was disqualified.

Santa Clara’s Kyler Van Swol topped the consolation heat in a time of 53.51 with Clovis’ Carl Weigley claiming second in 53.85.
