Olympic Trials - Revisiting the Past and Looking to the Future!

Trials have been underway for the past week, but Wave II is what we’ve really been looking forward to! After years of hard work, dedication, sacrifice and every emotion and physical pursuit you can imagine, your teammate, Carly Novelline gets her chance at Olympic glory. Carly is competing in the 100 Back on Monday, June 14th and the 100 Free on Thursday, June 17th. You can watch trials via USA Swimming (link is at the top of the home page). On January 12th, Carly sat down for a Q&A session to talk about Trials, how she handled the pandemic, and so much more. You can read the transcript here or watch the video here. Good luck, Carly!
