ASU Swim and Dive: Léon Marchand tops Michael Phelps, shatters world record

FUKOKA, Japan — Arizona State sophomore Léon Marchand broke legend Michael Phelps’ last remaining individual record, cashing in a time of 4:02.50 in the 400 meter individual medley at the World Aquatic Championships.

The legend of Michael Phelps, who retired seven years ago, still stands tall over the world of swimming. Phelps once held records in the 200m free, 100m and 200m flies and 200m and 400m IMs, but his 400 IM was the last to fall.
