After facing battles in and out of the pool over the last few years, the two 27-year-olds and Team USA veterans finished their arduous journeys back to the top of the sport Wednesday by claiming spots in their third Summer Games.

Shortly after noon Wednesday, August Dressel was out and about on the streets of Indianapolis. August, just four months old, was being pushed in a stroller by his mom, Meghan, with aunt Sherridon Dressel walking alongside. Sucking on a pacifier in the midwestern heat, August was blissfully unaware of what hovered over his father.

Dressel finished third in the men's 100 freestyle final Wednesday, narrowly missing out on earning an individual Olympic spot but claiming a place on the 400-meter freestyle relay team. / Grace Hollars/IndyStar / USA TODAY Manuel spoke articulately about her journey back from overtraining syndrome, which left her a shell of her former self at Olympic Trials three years ago. She gritted out a spot on the team in the 50 freestyle, then got out of the pool for five months to rest. She changed coaches, moving to train with Bob Bowman at Arizona State, then arduously and incrementally dug herself out of a deep hole.

Here in Indianapolis last summer, Dressel attempted to come back at the U.S. National Championships. His lack of training showed, and he didn’t come close to making the team. But it at least was a start back, as he gradually put the pieces back together. “Oh my God, top six under 48!” Dressel exclaimed on NBC while looking at the scoreboard to see the results of the race. “That’s quick.”
