Witnessing Greatness

Today Caeleb Dressel from the Univ of Fla swam 17.63 for the 50 yard freestyle at the Men’s NCAA Swimming and Diving Champs #mensncaaswimdive His margin of victory was 1.01 seconds over second place and Olympic gold medalist Ryan Held of NC State! For perspective on this effort by Caeleb, the difference between 2^nd place and 40^th place was .99 seconds.   Had I not witnessed it in person, I’m not sure I would believe the result. Kudos to Ryan Held for practically diving over the lane line to congratulate Caeleb! #sportsmanship See the swim at my instagram @mymainset and just listen for that quiet moment as everyone in the place turns their heads to see the scoreboard, and the eruption to follow. Goosebumps.
