Last year, I wasn\u2019t anywhere near that time in the 100 back at the beginning of the season. So know you roll with it and see where it goes. We were loving the energy, the atmosphere and just racing,\u201d Sherridon Dressel told <em>Swimming World<\/em>. \u201cIt is definitely a confidence boost when you go that quick early on because we know so much more is going to happen down the road at big meets. It is huge to feed off of each other. Attitude is everything at a swim meet. You can feel the energy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">That energy has led to a 5-0 start for the Gators, and their first No. 1 ranking in a decade. The team has come a long way since scoring zero points at the 2017 NCAAs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cJust looking back on the past three years, it is pretty amazing how far the team has already coming. If you asked me my freshman year where I see the team going by my senior year, I honestly couldn\u2019t have imagined that we would ever be ranked No. 1,\u201d Dressel said. \u201cBut there is a long season to go. We want to stay intense and focused because everyone knows that rankings don\u2019t matter this early on, same as times. All of those things are easily changed. Nothing is guaranteed, but we have good things ahead of us for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_400318\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-400318\" data-attachment-id=\"400318\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/sherridon-dressel-leads-floridas-re-rise-to-no-1\/sherridon-dressel-1\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/sherridon-dressel-1-e1572484459476.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1110,739\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;NIKON D4&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1553296107&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;200&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;3200&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0008&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"sherridon-dressel 1\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;sherridon-dressel 1&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Photo Courtesy: Bethany Hocker&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/sherridon-dressel-1-700x500.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/sherridon-dressel-1-1024x682.jpg\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-400318\" src=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/sherridon-dressel-1-700x500.jpg\" alt=\"sherridon-dressel 1\" width=\"700\" height=\"500\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-400318\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Courtesy: Bethany Hocker<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"western\">But there still is something exciting about earning that top spot.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cIt is super exciting,\u201d she said. \u201c No one saw us as a team as much of anything. We were seen as the underdogs a bit, and maybe we still are. But we know how hard we have worked. It is nice to have the validation that things are working and things are going up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">It started with Dressel&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/florida-swimming-and-diving-sweeps-minnesota-as-sherridon-dressel-swims-nation-leading-100-back\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">first dominating performance<\/a>, which is still the third-fastest this year, second-fastest not on a relay.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cI am at the point where it is my senior year. I have gone through it for three years and what do I have to lose at this point? I want to give it everything I can for my team,\u201d Dressel said. \u201cWe have big goals this year and I want to make sure I put everything I have into it. I don\u2019t want to look back and wish I could have given more or done more.It is a good mindset to be in. I think our attitude is exactly where it needs to be.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Dressel finished seventh in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/beata-nelson-unleashes-49-18-in-100-back-for-new-american-record\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">100 back at NCAAs<\/a> last year in 51.03. It was a race packed with talent in Wisconsin&#8217;s<strong> Beata Nelson<\/strong>, Cal&#8217;s <strong>Amy Bilquist<\/strong> and <strong>Izzy<\/strong> <strong>Ivey<\/strong>, Stanford&#8217;s <strong>Taylor Ruck<\/strong>, Kentucky&#8217;s <strong>Asia Seidt<\/strong>, Michigan&#8217;s<strong> Maggie MacNeil<\/strong> and Auburn&#8217;s <strong>Aly Tetzloff<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">That is a field loaded with national team members, NCAA champions, world champions and Olympians.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Being a part of that race had a huge impact on Dressel.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"western\"><strong>\u201cI was pretty happy with my NCAAs. It is a meet where you don\u2019t really know what to expect,\u201d Sherridon Dressel said. \u201cWe did a lot better than we did the year before. Personally, it could have been a little bit better. My races weren\u2019t as quick as I wanted to be, but I was definitely happy to be in the top eight and race with Asia Seidt, Beata Nelson, Amy Bilquist, all of those insanely fast girls again.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"western\">It was a big moment for her team to see as well.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><a name=\"docs-internal-guid-22b30eca-7fff-bab4-ab78-59eda7d3f2fa\"><\/a>\u201cSherridon works so hard every day. She has those amazing underwaters. Those don\u2019t just show up in meets, she does those every day,\u201d teammate <strong>Vanessa<\/strong> <strong>Pearl<\/strong> said. \u201cShe always has a positive attitude and it is really awesome to have her as a teammate. Her senior year is perfect timing for her to have a great season.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">It is leading a special start for the Gators, who face rival Georgia this weekend.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cEvery year has been so different. My freshman year was just a whirlwind. It was a big adjustment from what I was used to. Our class was pretty big so we had each other to lean on. Now we are all seniors and I think that has helped the team bond a little bit. We need to take advantage of every moment because it goes by so fast,\u201d Dressel said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Dressel thinks adjusting to the different training with coaches<strong> Jeff Poppell<\/strong> and <strong>Whitney Hite<\/strong>, who started last year after the departure of Gregg Troy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">The Gators finished 24<sup>th<\/sup> at the NCAA championships last year, an improvement of nine spots. They also finished second in the SEC, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/floridas-sherridon-dressel-thriving-with-new-found-belief\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">led by Dressel<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cI have had my fair share in changes of coaches. But the team clicks very well with Jeff and Whitney. They definitely have built up a solid team atmosphere. We definitely trust what they are doing. We have already come such a long way. It shows the work they have put in is showing up,\u201d Dressel said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Early success has given the Gators a No. 1 ranking. Sure, it is early, but it is some validation that the Gators are back on the national stage, after not scoring any points at NCAAs just three seasons ago in 2017.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cThere is so much potential on the team. There is no reason we couldn\u2019t have a big group of girls make the top eight at NCAAs,\u201d Sherridon Dressel said. \u201cI have no doubt that we will get there.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_400319\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-400319\" data-attachment-id=\"400319\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/sherridon-dressel-leads-floridas-re-rise-to-no-1\/sherridon-dressel-3\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/sherridon-dressel-3-e1572484445816.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1100,719\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;4&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;TimCasey&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Canon EOS-1D X Mark II&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;during the Gators&#039; meet against the Kentucky Wildcats and Ohio State Buckeyes on Friday, January 4, 2019 at the Stephen C.
