A good day for Caeleb Dressel got even better in the 50-yard freestyle. After setting a U.S. record in preliminaries, the sophomore posted an even faster time in Wednesday’s finals. The U.S. National Team member touched in 18.23, winning the race by almost a full second. Auburn’s Peter Holoda was second with a time of 19.17, and Missouri’s Michael Chadwick energized the home crowd with a third place finish.
The eventful evening started with a battle between teammates. Georgia seniors Brittany MacLean and Hali Flickinger went back and forth in the women’s 500-yard freestyle.

Texas A&M’s Sarah Gibson was third in 4:39.61.
