Outside of NC State’s 800 free relay win, there has not been a big upset on the weekend. That lasted until Friday night when Florida junior Caeleb Dressel dethroned two-time defending champion and Olympic gold medallist in Texas junior Joseph Schooling. Dressel also broke Schooling’s NCAA record along with Tom Shields’ American Record with a 43.58 thanks to a monster last turn.
Schooling finished second in the race after having the early lead with a 43.75, the second fastest time in history. Schooling was going for his third win in a row to be the seventh to win at least three 100 fly titles. But alas, Dressel over-swam him the last 25. Texas senior Jack Conger finished third with a 44.35, remaining the fifth fastest performer in history. NC State’s Ryan Held, Cal’s Zheng Quah, Indiana’s Vini Lanza and Missouri’s Andrew Sansoucie also competed in the A-final. California’s Matthew Josa was disqualified in the race.
Florida now has five NCAA titles in the 100 fly. Dressel joins Marcin Cieslak (2014) and coach Anthony Nesty (1990-1992) as winners for the Gators.
