Caeleb Dressel and Ryan Lochte will each be swimming two events on Wednesday at the ISCA International Senior Cup. The Gator Swim Club teammates will both be swimming the 200 IM this morning. 

Dressel, the world record holder in the 100 butterfly, will be swimming the 50 butterfly on Wednesday. In the morning heats, Dressel will be swimming next to reigning 100 fly Olympic champion Joseph Schooling. 2016 Olympian Jack Conger  will be swimming the 50 fly as well.

Lochte’s second event of the day will be the 100 backstroke. In the morning heats, he’ll be swimming next to the top seed in the event, Cal commit Ziyad Saleem.

The only notable scratch for the men for Wednesday morning is Izaak Bastian, a junior at Florida State and the second seed in the 100 breaststroke. 

On the women’s side of the meet, Sherridon Dressel, will be competing in two events. She is the top seed in the 100 backstroke. 14-year old Erika Peleaz, will be swimming next to Dressel in the backstroke as the 4th seed. 

Egyptian Olympian Farida Osman, is the top seed of the 50 butterfly. Right behind her are Dressel as the second seed, Hungarian Flora Molnar as the third seed, and Peleaz as the fourth seed. Molnar is fresh off an NCAA title with Alabama this past weekend. 

15-year old Leah Hayes is in three events this morning. Hayes is the top seed in the 200 IM, the 8th seed in the 100 breaststroke, and the 22nd seed in the 100 backstroke. 

Seeded second in the 200 IM behind Hayes is Hungarian Reka Gyorgy. Gregory, a swimmer at Virginia Tech, placed 8th in the 400 IM last week at the Women’s NCAA Division I Championships.

1:59.72 for Lochte in the 200 IM, which would have gotten him 3rd at San Antonio a few weeks ago. That’s certainly trending in the right direction for him to make a serious push at Trials!

For some fun factoids:

-In March 2011, he went a 2:05 before dropping his 1:54 WR in August at World’s that year
-In March 2012 he went a 1:59 before dropping to a 1:54 at Trials and the Olympics
-In April 2016 he went a 2:03 before dropping to a 1:56 at Trials and the Olympics

Based on past performance, I see no reason for him to not be a serious contender at Trials.

Looks like the Big Guys are having a fun time, “racing with Friends and Family in the stands.” Been told that Caleb is leading Ryan with 122 selfies to 84 selfies with swimmers, and that is just the first session. Smiles everywhere.

19.9 as an opening split. He could have pushed 19.6 as a stand-alone 50

Ouch – when I was 14 I was seeded with a SCY time in a SCM meet and was next to someone who went a 23. Im pretty sure his wave pushed me back a few feet at one point.

Not the same, but I was once circled seeded in an “open” age group 50 lcm free with a NT. I was a college swimmer coaching during the summer and I was circle seeded next to my 7 year old swimmer haha
