IRVINE, Calif. (AP) — Vladimir Morozov led a Russian sweep of the 50-meter freestyle at the Speedo Grand Challenge on Saturday night.

Morozov, who trains in Los Angeles, touched first in 21.92 seconds. Alexander Sukhorukov was second in 22.29, and Nikita Lobintsev third in 22.40.

Chelsea Chenault won the 200 freestyle in 1 minute, 59.92 seconds. Kirsten Vose, who won the 200 individual medley Friday, was second. Haley Anderson, the 2012 Olympic silver medalist in the 10-kilometer open-water race, finished third in the tune-up meet for next month's U.S. Olympic swimming trials.

National team member Kendyl Stewart won the 100 butterfly in 58.66 to go with the 50 free she won Friday.

Jordan Wilimovsky, who already qualified for the U.S. team for Rio, won the 400 free in 3:52.34. He was the first swimmer to qualify by virtue of his victory in the 10k open-water race at last year's world championships in Kazan, Russia.

Cristian Quintero of Venezuela, who won the 200 free Friday, finished second. Two-time Danish Olympian Mads Glaesner was third.
