But when Team USA flies home on Monday, no swimmer’s suitcase will be heavier than Caeleb Dressel’s.

I’m not trying to beat Mark,” he said on Sunday. “It’s not my goal to beat anyone in particular, but about achieving what I think my potential is.”in the 100-meter butterfly and 4×100 medley relay and set new Olympic records in the sprint freestyle races he won, the 50 and 100.
