After beating only one other swimmer, Ryan Lochte was the last one to climb from the pool.

OMAHA, Neb. —

Chase Kalisz, who already had won the 400 individual medley at these trials, claimed another Olympic event by finishing next in 1:56.97. A 12-time Olympic medalist, not to mention the winner of 27 medals at the world championships, Lochte seemed to recognize that his legacy was greatly impacted by his shenanigans five years ago.During a boisterous night in Rio with several younger teammates, Lochte lied about being robbed at gunpoint. His story quickly fell apart, revealing a swimmer whose life was barreling out of control.

Even Michael Phelps, Lochte's longtime rival who retired after the 2016 Rio Games, came down the from the stands to embrace Lochte. In other events, Ryan Murphy romped to victory in the 200 backstroke, adding to his triumph in the 100 back, whileafter defending Olympic champion Simone Manuel shockingly failed to advance from the semifinals the previous night.

Bryce Mefford took the likely second Olympic spot behind Murphy in 1:54.79. No one else was within a second of the top two.
