WASHINGTON (AFP) — American swimming star Caeleb Dressel won two individual events and helped a relay victory for the Cali Condors in an International Swim League meet.
The 23-year-old American, who won two relay gold medals at the Rio Olympics, won a record eight medals at this year’s World Championships, six of them gold, after taking seven gold medals in the 2017 worlds.
The reigning world champion in the 50-meter and 100-meter freestyle and butterfly dominated for the second day in a row at the University of Maryland pool in suburban College Park, even though it was the Los Angeles Current that rallied for a 495-489.5 victory in the overall meet.
Dressel won the 100-meter free style in 45.69 seconds, defeating runner-up and Cali teammate Kacper Majchrzak by 0.79 of a second, and took the 50-meter butterfly in 22.21 seconds with Tom Shields of the Current second by 0.51 seconds.
Dressel, Majchrzak, Mallory Comerford and Melanie Margalis won the mixed 4×100 free relay in 3:18.56, downing New York by 2.48 seconds.
