Three swimmers set world-record marks at the Short Course World Championship Trials in Westmont, Illinois, while Caeleb Dressel claimed victory in two events to secure his first Team USA berth since the Paris Olympics.

The trials, held at the FMC Natatorium on October 29, saw Douglass tie a world record while Berkoff and Mathias each broke world records in their respective events. Dressel's double win earned him a spot on the national team for the upcoming short course world championships.

The competition continues through the weekend as swimmers vie for remaining roster positions.
