Phelps wins 200 backstroke at Charlotte

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Michael Phelps beat Ryan Lochte in the 200-meter backstroke Sunday at the Charlotte UltraSwim.

Hungarian Katinka Hosszu set a meet record of 2:12.29 in the 200 individual medley, topping Southern California teammate Stina Gardell.

Ricky Berens' win in the 100 freestyle (49.46) was his first in almost 10 years in his hometown meet.

Distance specialist Chloe Sutton won the 800 free in 8:31.20, ahead of Andreina Pinto's 8:33.37.
