Lochte won the race. The Associated Press Lochte, a former University of Florida standout, overcame a left groin injury to finish in 4 minutes, 9.98 seconds - more than five seconds faster than runner-up Tyler Clary. Olympian Christine Magnuson had the year's fastest time in winning the 100 butterfly. Michael Phelps took opening night off, but will swim five events over the next four days. At stake in the meet are spots on the U.S. team for the Pan Pacific championships later this month - the year's only major international meet - and for the world championships next year. Katie Hoff won the 400 freestyle, her first national title in two years. During that chaotic time, she changed coaches three times and moved her training base from Baltimore to Fullerton, Calif. Lochte, the Olympic bronze medalist, trailed Clary by half a body length halfway through the race that features all four strokes. Lochte edged ahead on the breaststroke leg - a stroke he wasn't sure he could swim because of the injury he suffered a week ago in practice. "My groin didn't hurt. I said if it's not hurting now, let's push it," he said. Lochte, a notorious free spirit, celebrated his 26th birthday by wearing glitzy new shoes to the starting blocks. He came up with the idea for the high tops covered in green rhinestones and tied with green satin laces. His favorite expression "Jeah" - his version of wow - was spelled in yellow on the back of the shoes made by his swimsuit sponsor. He credited his fast time to his footwear. "I think it gave me power," he said before turning serious. "After that first 50, I was like, 'Man, I think I got something.' I've trained for it. I was just a matter of putting it together." -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us
