Peirsol's time of 1 minute, 50.52 seconds Monday bettered his mark of 1:50.64 set in March at a short course World Cup meet in East Meadow, New York. He also won the 100 back during the 25-meter competition.

Matthew Welsh of Australia was second in 1:52.54 and Arkady Vyatchanin of Russia was third in 1:54.20.

Peirsol swept the backstroke events at the Athens Olympics. He also won the 200 back at the 2002 short course championships.
