American backstroke star Ryan Murphy wins the men's 100-meter backstroke and Lilly King wins the 100 backstroke at the U.S. Olympic swimming trials.
It was a night for familiar names at the U.S. Olympic swimming trials. American backstroke star Ryan Murphy is headed to his third Olympics. So is breaststroke queen Lilly King. And how about Katie Grimes? She'll be swimming indoors and outdoors at the Paris Games. In a hectic session featuring five finals, Murphy won the men's 100-meter backstroke Monday to continue a run of excellence that dates to his breakout at Rio de Janeiro in 2016. The 28-year-old Floridian touched in 52.
27, which means the Alaska native won't get a chance to defend her title in Paris. Grimes has already clinched a spot in open water, which will be held in the Seine River. She added a pool spot with a victory in the women's 400 individual medley. Grimes built a big lead through the butterfly and backstroke legs, surrendered the top spot to Emma Weyant on the breaststroke, but rallied in the freestyle to take the guaranteed spot for Paris in 4:35.00.
