MONTREAL Phelps wins 100 freestyle in Montreal
Michael Phelps won the 100-meter freestyle at the Canada Cup to sweep both events he entered.
His time of 48.65 seconds on Sunday improved on the 48.87 he swam a week earlier, when he finished second to defending world champion Brent Hayden of Canada in Santa Clara, Calif.
The 14-time Olympic gold medalist swam a personal best time of 50.48 in winning the 100 butterfly Saturday. The Montreal meet is Phelps' final tune-up for the U.S. nationals in Indianapolis on July 7-11. That's where the team will be selected for the world championships, which will be in Rome from July 17 to Aug. 2. associated press
