Phelps sets American record in state meet

ANNAPOLIS -- Olympic swim star Michael Phelps broke his own American record in the 200-yard butterfly on Sunday, winning in 1 minute 39.65 seconds at the Maryland State Championships at the U.S. 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 U.S. mark.

Phelps will next take the plunge competitively in a meet at Columbus, Ohio, next month. While he says the span from now until the London Olympics will vanish quickly, Phelps also sees plenty of work ahead of him before then.
