OMAHA, Neb. -- When Anthony Ervin was Caeleb Dressels age, he was on the cusp of winning an Olympic gold medal.Sixteen years later, theyll pursue one together. It wont be easy.The U.S. lineup for the mens 4x100-meter freestyle relay that will try to reclaim greatness this summer in Rio is a microcosm of the way the team is shaping up as a whole: experience and fresh muscle shoulder to shoulder.It also features perhaps the most amiable sprinter in recent history in Nathan Adrian. The reigning Olympic gold medalist in the individual 100 freestyle hit the touchpad first in 47.72 seconds in Thursdays final. He called himself an old guy in post-race comments, but at 27, he is exactly midway between his prospective relay-mates in age.Adrian will be joined by speedsters separated by less than a second in the pool and almost a full generation on their birth certificates: the 19-year-old Dressel, a rising junior at the University of Florida who rewrote the NCAA record books last spring; 20-year-old Ryan Held of Springfield, Nebraska, who swims for North Carolina State and logged a personal best time of 48.26 seconds; and the 35-year-old Ervin, the irreverent, cerebral U.S. national team captain.Ervin, who shared the 50-meter freestyle gold medal with Gary Hall Jr. at the Sydney 2000 Games in an improbable tie, balanced elation with clear-eyed expectations Thursday.Once dominant in the 4x100 event, the U.S. team has won only one Olympic gold in its past four attempts (2008) and stunningly did not qualify for the finals at the 2015 world championships in Russia.Im not gonna celebrate too much right now, because the rest of the world is badass and we want to be bad too, said Ervin, who made a comeback in 2011 after almost 10 years away from competitive swimming. His recently-released memoir, Chasing Water, chronicles a self-destructive period in his life on dry land that included a suicide attempt.Part of this process being around these younger people makes me feel young, he told reporters. And I may be older than them, but Im younger than most of you.Dressel, his blonde hair sticking out in random spikes after the race, wrapped Ervin in an embrace that melded some of the teams most prominent tattoos.Not super-stoked about the time, but Im happy, said Dressel, who touched .51 behind Adrian for second place and will swim the individual 100 event in Rio. Its something nobody can ever take away. Im an Olympian now, and will forever be the rest of my life.Adrian, who trained alongside Ervin for four years in college at California, agreed that the world is faster, but he has confidence in the eclectic U.S. group. I think people are going to underestimate what the Americans are capable of, he said. I dont think thats [Thursdays times] the best we have to offer. I think the next month well be sharpening our tools, and I think that we have the arsenal to be competitive there. http://www.dolphinsrookiestore.com/Dolphins-Mark-Clayton-Jersey/ . -- Tony Stewart is 20 pounds lighter and has a titanium rod in his surgically repaired right leg. http://www.dolphinsrookiestore.com/Dolphins-Mark-Duper-Jersey/ . -- Edmontons Val Sweeting is two wins away from a trip to Winnipeg to play in Canadas Road of the Rings in December. http://www.dolphinsrookiestore.com/Dolphins-Stephone-Anthony-Jersey/ . Following a lopsided 5-2 loss against the New Jersey Devils on Wednesday night, Paul MacLean told reporters that "theres a lack of focus, theres a lack of leadership and theres a lack of preparation" with his struggling team. That came on the heels of Bryan Murray taking the unusual step of going into the locker room at the Prudential Center and addressing the players himself. http://www.dolphinsrookiestore.com/Hats/ .500 on the season. The Jets are now 0-5-1 in the second game of back-to-backs. The game started the same way the Vancouver game started the night before, with the Jets taking the first two penalties of the game and killing off the first, but the Oilers getting on the board first, scoring on the second man-advantage. http://www.dolphinsrookiestore.com/Dolphins-Laremy-Tunsil-Jersey/ . Miller reached right to deflect Mikhail Grabovskis attempt with just over 2 minutes remaining in regulation, and then made two more saves in the shootout Sunday to give the Sabres a 2-1 win over the Washington Capitals. MADISON, Wis. -- Bart Houston began the season as Wisconsins starting quarterback before losing his job to Alex Hornibrook.With Hornibrook listed as questionable with a head injury for the Big Ten title game against No. 8 Penn State (10-2, 8-1 Big Ten) on Saturday, the No. 6 Badgers (10-2, 7-2) may have to turn back to Houston. A fifth-year senior, Houston rallied the Badgers to a 31-17 victory over Minnesota last Saturday.No doubt hes given us a spark a number of times, its been good to see, Wisconsin coach Paul Chryst said Monday.Houston took over for Hornibrook when he was injured late in the second quarter against the Golden Gophers and led Wisconsin to 24 second-half points. Wide receiver Jazz Peavy said Houstons fun-loving persona helps keep the team loose no matter what the situation is.In the fourth quarter we were going into one of these drives and Bart comes into the huddle telling jokes and stuff like that, Peavy said with a laugh. Im thinking this guys really relaxed right now and Im locked in and focused.Peavy, whose 71-yard scamper on a jet sweep set up Corey Clements 2-yard touchdown run to snap a 17-17 tie, said Houston has a ffun, goofy personality that bodes well in pressure situations.ddddddddddddBart brings that ease to the group of guys in the huddle. He allows us to be a little more freely and not uptight, Peavy said.Chryst has come to appreciate his senior quarterbacks approach to the game on and off the field.One thing I have enjoyed and appreciate from Bart is I think he is having fun playing the game, Chryst said.Houston, who scrambled 12 yards to sustain a third quarter scoring drive, has proven he can make plays with his arm and his feet.Bart does a great job of being in the moment, Chryst said. He cares about this team and has confidence in himself. He wants to contribute and believes he can contribute and help.When Chryst was asked what would happen if Hornibrook cant go on Saturday and Houston gets dinged he replied Well be all right.Game notes Offensive lineman Jacob Maxwell has been ruled out for Saturday with a right shoulder injury.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25.
