Caeleb Dressel and Katie Ledecky were honored as Male and Female Athletes of the Year at USA Swimming’s annual Golden Goggle Awards on Tuesday night.

Dressel was named Athlete of the Year after winning gold medals in the 50-meter freestyle, 100 freestyle and 100 butterfly at the Tokyo Olympics. He was also a key member of the men’s 4×100 freestyle and 4×100 medley relays, becoming the fourth American swimmer to win five gold medals in a single game.

Ledecky won two gold and two silver medals in Tokyo to become the most decorated individual gold medalist in Olympic history. She won the 800 freestyle and the inaugural 1500 freestyle, finished second in the 400 freestyle and anchored the 4×200 freestyle relay to a silver medal.
