Thomas Heilman on Caeleb Dressel: "I really look up to him"

17-year-old Thomas Heilman had already become the youngest male to make the Olympic swimming team since 2000 earlier in the week after winning the 200 fly. But on Saturday night, he added to his Olympic schedule by finishing 2nd in the 100 fly behind his biggest role model in the pool, world record-holder Caeleb Dressel.

On the olympic team he’s a vet with tons of international experience. And at 17, someone 10 yrs your senior feels old
