Caeleb Dressel and Katie Ledecky shine in major night for U.S. swimmers

Swimmers Caeleb Dressel and Katie Ledecky shined Friday night in a major victory for Team USA, with both athletes making history and winning gold. 

Ledecky became the first woman to win three consecutive Olympic titles in the 800-meter freestyle, with a time of 8:12.57. Ledecky now holds the top 24 times in history in the event, according to NBC's Olympics page.
