Michael Phelps won the B final with a final time of 1:49.12. Had he qualified for the A final this morning, he would have finished in fifth, just behind Lochte.

Later in the night, Tom Shields dropped .66 seconds to win a loaded 100 butterfly with his time of 52.12, which is a slight improvement from his previous season best of 52.15. Ryan Lochte and Michael Phelps finished second and third at 52.52 and 52.59, respectively.
