A preview of Monday's Olympic schedule, with an emphasis on athletes with Ann Arbor-area ties:

Michael Phelps insists there’s no rift between himself and former Michigan swimmer Tyler Clary.

They’ll certainly share a common goal on Monday.

The American teammates will both participate in the fifth and final preliminary heat of the 200-meter butterfly, scheduled for 5:36 a.m. at the Aquatics Centre in the Olympic Park.

Clary made national headlines when he questioned Phelps’ work ethic during an interview with his hometown newspaper, The Press-Enterprise in Riverside, Calif.

He told the newspaper that he "saw a real lack of preparation" by Phelps during their year training together at Michigan. He implied that Phelps, who trained with Club Wolverine from 2005-08, got by on natural talent while others had to work hard.

Phelps said the incident was behind them during a press conference last Thursday. He said Clary came to his room during the pre-Olympic training camp, and they spoke for about 10 minutes.

"He said everything was taken out of context. He apologized," Phelps said. "He didn't need to do that. Whatever he said, he said. But we are teammates. We come as one, we leave as one."

Phelps' coach, Bob Bowman -- also Clary’s coach during his freshman season at Michigan -- made a not-so-subtle reference to the former Wolverine during the news conference attended by several hundred media.

"The thing that makes Michael great is the work," Bowman said, without even getting a question about Clary. "He worked as hard as anybody could possibly work."r>

Phelps, of course, is the winningest Olympian ever with 14 gold medals. He claimed his 17th career medal on Sunday when the U.S. 400 freestyle relay team earned a silver.

He also has the fastest qualifying time in the 200 butterfly at 1:53.34. Clary’s qualifying time of 1:55.12 is the ninth best.

The eight fastest swimmers compete for a medal in the event on Tuesday.

MORE LOCAL ATHLETES IN ACTION
Four events for Mikulak

Michigan junior Sam Mikulak will compete on floor, still rings, pommel horse and parallel bars when the U.S. men’s gymnastics team competes in the team final at 11:30 a.m. Monday.

The U.S. is searching for its first team gold since 1984. The Americans topped qualifying Saturday, but scores are reset in the finals. Teams send out three gymnasts for each of six events, and all three scores count.

Only one U.S. gymnast -- national champion John Orozco -- will compete in more individual events. He will do everything but floor exercise.

Armstrong in goal

Ann Arbor native Betsey Armstrong and the U.S. women’s water polo team opens Olympic group play against Hungary at 2:40 p.m.

The U.S. has medaled in every Olympics since women's water polo was added to the schedule in 2000, including a silver in Beijing with Armstrong in goal. The Americans, a favorite this year, have never won gold.

Schmitt on medal quest

Canton High School graduate Allison Schmitt, a former Club Wolverine age group swimmer, has competed in two events at the London Olympics. Both resulted in a medal and an American record.

She anchored the American's bronze medal-winning 800 freestyle team on Saturday and won a silver medal in the 400 freestyle on Sunday.

Her third event starts at 5 a.m. Monday with the preliminaries of the 200 freestyle.

Could Schmitt add a gold medal to her collection? She does have the best qualifying time of the 38 swimmers in the preliminary round.

Three more Wolverines

Three other former Michigan athletes will be in action Monday:

Tom Peszek and his partner, Silas Stafford, will compete in the men’s pair repachage -- a fancy word for second chance -- at 5:10 a.m. The American boat will race against Hungary, Germany and Serbia with the top three advancing to the semifinal round.

Another former Michigan rower, Sarah Trowbridge, will be part of the American team in the women’s double sculls heats beginning at 5:20 a.m.

Former Wolverine women’s basketball player Krista Phillips and her Canada team play Olympic hosts Great Britain in group play at 3 p.m.
