LONG BEACH, Calif. (AP) Olympic superstars Michael Phelps and Katie Hoff won 400-yard individual medleys on Sunday night at the Long Beach Grand Prix.
Phelps finished in 3 minutes, 38.42 seconds, about a second behind his preliminary time but well ahead of second-place finisher Hidemasa Sano, who touched in 3:39.63. Todd Patrick was third in 3:45.54 at the Belmont Plaza Olympic Pool.
Phelps won the 500-yard freestyle on Saturday as he continues getting back in competition shape. The 14-time Olympic gold medalist is entered in two more events at the short-course meet, which he hopes will help prepare him for the U.S. nationals in August.
