The 25-year-old finished second behind four-time Olympian Katie Ledecky in the 400-meter freestyle at the 2024 USA Swimming U.S. Olympic Team Trials on Saturday night in Indianapolis. Though the Olympic team won’t technically be announced until after the trials end this weekend, she has tentatively locked up a spot on Team USA in Paris next month.
Madden, a UMS-Wright graduate and former NCAA champion at the University of Virginia, posted a time of 4:02.08 in the 400 free, well ahead of the Olympic-qualifying standard of 4:07.90. She finished third in the 200-meter freestyle semifinals on Sunday night, posting a personal-best time of 1:56.36, also besting the Olympic standard of 1:57.26.Madden won a silver medal as part of the U.S.

Madden was just the second Mobilian to earn an Olympic medal after Cousins took gold with Team USA in Rio de Janeiro.If you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.
