The buzz on deck last night, as expected, came during the final of the men’s 100 fly – the crowd erupted as Michael Phelps led the finalist out of the ready room onto the deck of the Mecklenburg County Aquatic Center. But that wasn’t all that was happening of course and we’ve been psyched to have sports photographer Mike Lewis on deck to capture the excitement through his camera.
