ANNAPOLIS, Maryland — Olympic swim star Michael Phelps has broken his own American record in the 200-yard butterfly, winning in 1min 39.65secs at the Maryland State Championships at the US Naval Academy.
Phelps set the old mark of 1:39.7 in 2006 at Austin, Texas. He looked back to see his split times from four years ago and entered the race with a goal of breaking his US mark.
"I wanted to try and go out and take a shot at it," he said. "Coming off the last turn I wanted to stay under as long as I could. That was clearly the difference."
