Caeleb Dressel wins 100 butterfly at U.S. Olympic trials - ESPN

INDIANAPOLIS — Caeleb Dressel locked up his second individual race in Paris, giving him another chance to shine after his stellar performance at the last Olympics.

Keep an eye on Kate Douglass, too. She could be the biggest American star at the pool.

Dressel, the winner of five gold medals at the Tokyo Games, claimed a victory in the men's 100-meter butterfly at the U.S. Olympic swimming trials Saturday night.

Dressel followed up his triumph in the 50 freestyle with a winning time of 50.19 seconds, giving him a chance to defend another of the gold medals he captured in Tokyo.

Douglass locked up her third individual event at the Olympics with a victory in the 200-meter individual medley.

She was neck and neck with Alex Walsh at the final turn, but no one could keep up with Douglass on the freestyle leg. She finished in 2:06.79, while Walsh held on for the second Olympic spot in 2:07.86.

Douglass has lived up to her billing as one of the world's most versatile swimmers, also claiming trials victories in the 200 breaststroke and 100 freestyle.

«I'm really happy with that,» Douglass said. «I was coming into the meet trying to win all three events, but I didn't think I'd be able to achieve that. So I'm happy I did.»

Dressel didn't come close to his world record of 49.45, which he set at the last Olympics. But he led all the way and touched about a half-body length ahead of 17-year-old Thomas Heilman, who earned the second spot for Paris in 50.80.

Dressel will also swim up to three relays at the Summer Games, which would put him close to the six-event program he had in Tokyo. The only event he didn't win three years ago was the mixed relay.

«It's tough making it through the trials,» Dressel said. «This truly is the hardest
