Florida’s Caeleb Dressel lowered his 17-18 U.S. National Age Group mark in the 50-yard free again with a winning effort at the NCAA Division I Men’s Championships.

Dressel turned in a sizzling time of 18.67 for the win.  That’s better than the 18.86 he posted a pair of times this morning for the 17-18 U.S. NAG.

His time vaulted him into a sixth-place tie all time with Fred Bousquet, and Dressel is the first Florida Gator to ever win the 50-yard free.
