Nineteen-year-old speedster Caeleb Dressel, a Florida sophomore, is trying to change that, and his performances at the Southeastern Conference swimming and diving championships Wednesday are clear indication that he has the talent to do so.

Dressel began the day by breaking the American, U.S. open and NCAA records in the men’s 50-yard freestyle. His time of 18.39 seconds broke records held by a pair of Olympic medalists. He then returned for the night’s finals session and blew away his prelims swim by another .16 seconds — a lifetime in the sport’s splash-and-dash event — for a new record of 18.23 records.

Dressel’s new mark sits more than two-tenths of a second under Brazilian Olympian Cesar Cielo’s previous U.S. open and NCAA records, set at the 2008 NCAA championships while wearing a polyurethane tech suit. It also obliterated the American record of 19.66 set by U.S. Olympic champion Nathan Adrian in 2011.

The new time also might erase another mainstay in swimming: Florida Coach Gregg Troy’s mustache.

According to a Q&A with the coach posted by the school’s athletic website in the fall, a “fan” (i.e., Dressel) asked what time it would take for Troy to shave his mustache, which the coach said in an earlier answer he’d been sporting since 1972. He replied: “Short course 18.39 / Long course 20.89.”

Probably not the best bet to make with a budding superstar, who was already showing startling speed while still developing muscle as a teen. Dressel won the NCAA championship in the 50 free as a freshman and had been under the 19-second barrier eight previous times before Wednesday, including as the first junior to ever accomplish the feat. He is also the reigning U.S. national champion in the 50- and 100-meter free.

Time to pay up, Troy.

And if Dressel needs help getting the coach to make good, maybe he could get help from Florida’s other swimming legend, who was quick to offer his congratulations to Dressel.
