By Dan D\u2019Addona.<\/em><\/p>\n

Coming into the 50-yard freestyle finals, Florida\u2019s Caeleb Dressel<\/strong> had swimming fans asking two questions: Could he break his own world record? And could he possibly go faster than 18 seconds?<\/p>\n

The answer to both was: No \u2014 at least the short answer.<\/p>\n

Dressel won the 50 in 18.23, three hundredths of a second off his NCAA and American record set last year.<\/p>\n

The long answer is a little more complex and impressive. Dressel didn\u2019t break 18 seconds, or his record, but the Florida junior turned in three stellar swims, breaking the pool record three times in one day \u2014 including twice in one hour.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is just on another level, that guy,\u201d said Florida teammate Mark Szaranek<\/strong>, who tied Texas senior Will Licon<\/strong> to win the 200 IM (1:40.67). \u201cTo go 18.2 time after time is amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dressel swam an 18.38 in the 50 freestyle preliminaries, then went 18.23 to lead off the 200 freestyle relay to a second-place finish (1:14.88). In the 50 freestyle final, Dressel identically matched his 18.23 from the relay to three-peat as NCAA champion.<\/p>\n

So while, he wasn\u2019t the fastest ever at the NCAA Division I championships in Indianapolis on Thursday, he was nearly the fastest three times in one day. Plus his two finals times \u2014 tied for the second-fastest ever behind his own mark \u2014 came just an hour apart.<\/p>\n

It is the third time he has been at 18.23, the first at last year\u2019s SEC Championships, leading up to his world record of 18.20 to win the NCAA title.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has been pretty consistent,\u201d Dressel said. \u201cThis is my third year doing NCAAs. You get used to going back-to-back-to-back. I was alright with the time. There are still a lot of areas to improve on it. It is always nice to go a personal best, but it is all about having that perfect race, nailing some certain areas I need to get better at \u2014\u00a0second breakout and being clean off my dive, and I completely missed my finish. It was a good swim, don\u2019t get me wrong, just being picky. That\u2019s part of the sport.\u201d<\/p>\n

And part of what makes Dressel on another level, despite a field where Ryan Held<\/strong> (18.60), Joseph Schooling<\/strong> (18.79), Michael<\/strong> Chadwick<\/strong> (18.97) and\u00a0Zach Apple<\/strong> (18.97) all went faster than 19 seconds in the final.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s great. You almost had eight guys under 19 in the final. It is getting ridiculous fast,\u201d Dressel said.<\/p>\n

And in an event like the 50 freestyle, every little detail could mean a couple hundredths of a second.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am one less stroke than I was last year. I was at nine and I am at eight. That is more power that you have to get used to, how your body responds,\u201d Dressel said. \u201cYou have to nit pick and see what works best for you \u2014\u00a0and do it in practice.\u201d<\/p>\n

It is that kind of nitpicking that helped Dressel reach the Olympics in Rio.<\/p>\n

\u201cI got a lot of wisdom out of it. It is such a big meet. It doesn\u2019t make these meets seem smaller, it gives you a bit more confidence at how to handle adversity, and being up on that podium \u2014\u00a0that meet is such a big scale it prepares you for meets like this,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Being able to consistently perform near record pace is more impressive than doing it once. There are plenty of swimmers who have reached the pinnacle of a record-setting race, then don\u2019t come near it again.<\/p>\n

Dressel has been near in just about every swim for three years. That stunning consistency at an elite level is why Dressel is the greatest short-course sprinter of all time.<\/p>\n
