In more than half of the events, at least two American men are ranked in the all-time top-10 of performers. Meanwhile, only one event &#8211; the 400 freestyle &#8211; is void of a U.S. athlete in the top-10. Larsen Jensen is the top-ranked American in the 400 free, sitting 15th.<\/p>\n<p>During the first half of the 2025 season, four American men have become a top-10 performer in an event. While Jack Alexy jumped to No. 6 in the 100 freestyle (46.99), Luke Hobson moved to No. 5 in the 200 freestyle (1:43.73). Additionally, Luca Urlando is now the No. 4 performer in the 200 butterfly (1:52.37) and Bobby Finke is No. 10 in the 400 individual medley (4:07.46).<\/p>\n<p>Given the United States&#8217; historical excellence in the events, it isn&#8217;t surprising that the 200 individual medley (five) and 400 medley (six) feature the most American entries.<\/p>\n<p>Here is a look at where American male swimmers rank in the top-10 of individual events that will be contested at the World Championships.<\/p>\n<p>NOTE: Bolded\/Italicized Swimmers Will Race the Event in Singapore<\/p>\n<p><strong>50 Freestyle<br \/>\n<\/strong>Caeleb Dressel (No. 3) &#8211; 21.04<\/p>\n<p><strong>100 Freestyle<\/strong><br \/>\nCaeleb Dressel (No. 5) &#8211; 46.96<br \/>\n<em><strong>Jack Alexy (No. 6) &#8211; 46.99<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>200 Freestyle<\/strong><br \/>\nMichael Phelps (No. 2) &#8211; 1:42.96<br \/>\n<em><strong>Luke Hobson (No. 5) &#8211; 1:43.73<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>400 Freestyle<\/strong><br \/>\nNone<\/p>\n<p><strong>800 Freestyle<\/strong><br \/>\n<em><strong>Bobby Finke (No. 9) &#8211; 7:38.67<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>1500 Freestyle<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Bobby Finke (No. 1) &#8211; 14:30.67<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>50 Backstroke<\/strong><br \/>\nHunter Armstrong (No. 2) &#8211; 23.71<br \/>\nJustin Ress (No. 3) &#8211; 23.92<br \/>\n<strong><em>Shaine Casas (No. 4) &#8211; 24.00<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>100 Backstroke<\/strong><br \/>\nRyan Murphy (No. 3) &#8211; 51.85<br \/>\nAaron Peirsol (No. 5) &#8211; 51.94<br \/>\nHunter Armstrong (No. 6) &#8211; 51.98<br \/>\nMatt Grevers (No. 8) &#8211; 52.08<\/p>\n<p><strong>200 Backstroke<\/strong><br \/>\nAaron Peirsol (No. 1) &#8211; 1:51.92<br \/>\nRyan Lochte (No. 3) &#8211; 1:52.96<br \/>\nTyler Clary (No. 6) &#8211; 1:53.41<br \/>\nRyan Murphy (No. 7) &#8211; 1:53.57<\/p>\n<p><strong>50 Breaststroke<\/strong><br \/>\nNic Fink (No. 9) &#8211; 26.45<\/p>\n<p><strong>100 Breaststroke<\/strong><br \/>\nMichael Andrew (No. 4) &#8211; 58.14<br \/>\nNic Fink (No. 7) &#8211; 58.36<\/p>\n<p><strong>200 Breaststroke<\/strong><br \/>\nMatt Fallon (No. 6) &#8211; 2:06.54<\/p>\n<p><strong>50 Butterfly<\/strong><br \/>\nCaeleb Dressel (No. 2) &#8211; 22.35<\/p>\n<p><strong>100 Butterfly<\/strong><br \/>\nCaeleb Dressel (No. 1) &#8211; 49.45<br \/>\nMichael Phelps (No. 3) &#8211; 49.82<\/p>\n<p><strong>200 Butterfly<\/strong><br \/>\nMichael Phelps (No. 3) &#8211; 1:51.51<br \/>\n<em><strong>Luca Urlando (No. 4) &#8211; 1:52.37<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>200 Medley<\/strong><br \/>\nRyan Lochte (No. 1) &#8211; 1:54.00<br \/>\nMichael Phelps (No. 3) &#8211; 1:54.16<br \/>\n<em><strong>Shaine Casas (No. 7) &#8211; 1:55.24<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\nMichael Andrew (No. 8) &#8211; 1:55.26<br \/>\nEric Shanteau (No. 10) &#8211; 1:55.36<\/p>\n<p><strong>400 Medley<\/strong><br \/>\nMichael Phelps (No. 2) &#8211; 4:03.84<br \/>\nRyan Lochte (No. 3) &#8211; 4:05.18<br \/>\nChase Kalisz (No. 4) &#8211; 4:05.90<br \/>\n<strong>Carson Foster (No. 8) &#8211; 4:06.56<\/strong><br \/>\nTyler Clary (No. 9) &#8211; 4:07.31<br \/>\nBobby Finke (No. 10) &#8211; 4:07.46<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Where the American Men Sit in the All-Time Top-10 Performer Rankings As the World Championships near, it seemed an appropriate time to provide a glance at where United States male<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7533,"featured_media":614284,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"dois","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[3,122077,7,10],"tags":[136355,58835,133233],"class_list":["post-616069","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured","category-americas","category-usa","category-world","tag-performers","tag-rankings","tag-top-10"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.3 (Yoast SEO v24.3) -
