Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochte each notched wins in their two head-to-head swims on the final night of competition at the Pro Swim Series at Mesa, Ariz., on Saturday.

Phelps, in his first meet since August, took the 100m freestyle in 49.72 seconds, out-touching Lochte by .05. Conor Dwyer was third (full meet results). Phelps also won the 100m butterfly Thursday.

Phelps clocked 48.45 in the 100m free at his best in 2014, the second-fastest time among Americans behind Olympic champion Nathan Adrian. Adrian wasn’t in the field in Mesa.

Earlier Saturday, Lochte captured the 200m individual medley in 1:58.
