Missy Franklin returns to winning ways in Minneapolis

Missy Franklin notched her first individual race victory in her last seven meets, coming from behind to take the 100m backstroke at a Pro Swim Series competition in Minneapolis on Friday night.

Katie Ledecky won a race for the second straight night, while Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochte were beaten in their events, just like Thursday in the Olympic season-opening domestic meet.

Full results are here. The meet concludes Saturday with finals at 7 p.m. ET, streamed on USASwimming.org.

Franklin overcame a characteristic slow start in the 100m back, was in Xth place after the 50-meter turn and edged Kylie Masse, 1.
