MEN’S 50 BUTTERFLY

Top 3:

1. Caeleb Dressel – 23.44
2. Michael Andrew – 23.68
3. Davidson Vincent – 24.85

Olympians Caeleb Dressel and Michael Andrew went head to head in the men’s 50 butterfly, but Dressel got the job done and touched with a 23.44, while Andrew posted a 23.68. Dressel’s swim was a bit slower than his personal best time and American record of 22.35, which he set a few years ago en route to 2019 World Championships gold.

Michael Andrew was the United States’ second entry at 2019 Worlds and placed 4th overall in the event with a 22.80.

Davidson Vincent of Azura Florida Aquatics was third overall with a 24.85. That swim is quicker than what he delivered last month at the Azura Winter Open where he won the 50 butterfly in a 25.18, having swum a 24.98 during prelims.

Dressel and Andrew raced each other again later in the session in the men’s 50 breaststroke. In their second, Andrew had the upper hand with a 27.79, while Dressel touched second with a 28.22.

Dressel and Andrew are both back in action of day two racing the 200 freestyle and 100 fly, and the 400 IM, respectively.
