February 21st, 2015 College, National, News, SEC

Florida Gator Caeleb Dressel has done it again, breaking his second freestyle sprint national age group record (NAG) at the 2015 SEC Swimming & Diving championships.  Dressel broke the 50 freestyle NAG record earlier in the meet and during this morning prelims session, clocked a new 100 freestyle mark.  His time of 42.31 from today’s prelims narrowly overtakes the previous record of 42.34 set by David Nolan back in 2011.

Dressel’s fastest 100 freestyle time thus far as a freshman was the 42.91 he earned in November of 2014 at the Georgia Tech Fall invitational.  Dressel is now the top seed moving into tonight’s highly anticipated final, where he will face his 50 freestyle nemesis at this meet, Alabama’s Kristian Gkolomeev.

Hey Bobo. Seliskar was 44.2 in 100 free and 144.55 2 IM at prelims for Virginia HS state champs. He was 46 mid in 100 fly.

Great swim one again by Dressel. 3 individual events and 3 new best times.
He has now a SCY 100 PB more in line with what he’s shown in long course in that event. Sub 42 is the next goal now.
The clash with Gkolomeev in final looks pretty exciting.
Round 1 in the 50 free for the Greek swimmer.
Round 2 in the 100 free?
