Watch: Michael Andrew, Caeleb Dressel, Dean Farris 50 Free (Race Video)

Reported by Lauren Neidigh.

MEN’S 50 FREE:

  1. Michael Andrew– 21.73
  2. Peter Holoda– 22.70
  3. Shane Ryan– 23.01

Michael Andrew scorched a lifetime best 21.73 to dominate this race by a second. That took .02 off his former lifetime best of 21.75. Andrew swam that 21.75 twice at last summer’s World Juniors to set the World Junior Record and win the title. Behind him, Auburn-based sprint standouts Peter Holodaand Shane Ryan rounded out the top 3.

Florida’s World Champion Caeleb Dressel finished 6th here in 23.13. He followed closely behind incoming Gator Will Davis (23.01) and Harvard All-American Dean Farris (23.10). Dressel’s time was about a second slower than he was at this meet last season, but in all likelihood he’s in extremely heavy training.

MA has greatly improved his underwaters. From seeing some of his youtube videos it seems that they work on starts and underwaters everyday. I think that as he works on his 100 free he could make the relay. He will make the 50 free and 100 breast maybe 100 fly this summer for Pan Pacs.

Geez, MA was short on the finish and still went a 21.7.

From that angle, taken from a shoe phone, the pool sure did not seem very Olympicky

Crazy to think that a tapered Dressel will go AT LEAST 2 seconds faster in the same event in August!
And probably closer to 2.5 seconds than 2 seconds. 🙂
