Dressel's Nationals Comeback and LA28 Timeline

Dressel's 2026 Nationals wins in the 50m free (21.35) and 100m free (47.70), plus butterfly silvers including 50.45 in the 100m fly, keep him on the 2026/27 U.S. national team. UVA coverage again confirms his expected participation in the October 15–16 Short Course Meters Pro-Am, but provides no detailed entries or performances; the June 9–17, 2028, U.S. Olympic Trials remain the key future checkpoint.
