California Golden Bears alum Nathan Adrian continues to prove his swimming acumen at 28 years old. Adrian beat out a host of much younger Americans to win the 100 meter for his 14th national long-course freestyle title.
Adrian won the 100 free at the Phillips 66 National Championships, edging out Caleb Dressel at 47.96 seconds to 47.97.
“I feel good-ish,” said Adrian, when asked about the fast time. “I love looking up on the board and seeing a 47.”
He’s equally happy about the men’s team right now. When told it was the first time that two men have gone under 48 seconds in the 100 free at a U.
