STUART, Florida, November 9. AT the Florida State 2A High School Championships tonight, Clay High’s Caeleb Dressel downed his national high school record in the 50-yard freestyle with a monster leadoff for his winning Clay High squad in the 200-yard free relay.<\/p>\n
Dressel blitzed the field with a sterling 19.29 lead leg as Dressel, Grady Heath (21.75), Matthew Bonna (22.00) and Dakota Mahaffey (21.22) came together for a 1:24.26 for the win. <\/p>\n
That performance cleared his previous record of 19.36 set earlier this season during the FSPA Invitational. The record had previously stood to the Sizzling Siberian Vlad Morozov, who had a 19.43 relay leadoff for Torrance High in May 2010. Ryan Murphy still owns the independent school mark with a 19.54 relay leadoff from last November’s Bolles School onslaught on all the national high school records. <\/p>\n
The swim also lowered Dressel’s own U.S. 17-18 National Age Group record that was the 19.36 from September. Seth Stubblefield had previously held that record with a 19.41 since 2012. It’s only a matter of time before Dressel winds up throwing down a sub-19 performance. <\/p>\n
Dressel closed his night with a 43.39 100 free leadoff as Clay’s Dressel, Heath (47.27), Bonna (49.91) and Mahaffey (46.82) won again with a 3:07.36 in the 400 free relay. <\/p>\n
Yesterday, Dressel lost the 100 fly high school record to Bolles teammate Joseph Schooling (45.52), but had a pretty strong meet here in Stuart tonight. He opened the night with a win in the 200 free with a 1:34.69, before clocking a 45.99 in the 100 fly for the win. <\/p>\n
Dressel is currently one of the top uncommitted recruits in the Class of 2014 and is down to a few colleges. He’s been taking his time on making his decision.<\/p>\n
