By Paul D. Bowker | 4/15/2016 12:01:00 AM
Less than three months away from the U.S. Olympic Team Trials, the fourth leg of the Arena Pro Swim Series this week in Mesa, Arizona, takes on an added importance.

Olympic star power in the meet includes world-record holders Michael Phelps, Ryan Lochte, Missy Franklin and Katie Ledecky, in addition to a number of other Olympic champions. Phelps, an 18-time Olympic gold medalist, is expected to battle Lochte, a nine-time Olympic champion, in the men’s 200-meter individual medley.
Competition goes through Saturday night in the Skyline Aquatic Center in Mesa.
Olympic 100-meter freestyle champion Nathan Adrian, the men’s points leader, is coming off a sweep of the men’s sprint events in the Arena Pro Swim’s Orlando, Florida, meet in March. He is the top seed in the 50 and 100 freestyle.

Ledecky, the women’s points leader, is the top seed in the women’s 200 freestyle, a stacked field that also includes No. 2 seed Katinka Hosszu, No. 3 Franklin and No. 4 Allison Schmitt. Hosszu, a native of Hungary who now lives in the United States, and Franklin, a four-time Olympic gold medalist, are the top two seeds in the women’s 100 backstroke.
Ledecky is also the top seed in the women’s 400 and 800 freestyle, and Hosszu is the top seed in the women’s 200 and 400 IM, and 100 and 200 backstroke.
The women’s 100 freestyle could be a battle among top seed Simone Manuel, Franklin and Ledecky.
