Dressel, who now ranks second in the world this season, trailing only Russia’s Kliment Kolesnikov (47.31), took it out first at the 50 in 22.46, with Brooks Curry (22.56) and Held (22.66) hot on his heels.

Down the second 50 it was Zach Apple who out-split everyone, closing in 24.70 to overtake everyone but Dressel, taking the second individual spot in a time of 47.72. Apple locks in his Olympic spot after finishing in position to make the 800 free relay earlier. He narrowly missed his best of 47.69 from 2019.
