Chase Kalisz
Kalisz, who won Team USA's first gold medal of the Olympics with his victory in the men's 400m individual medley on Saturday night, took the pool for his qualifying heat in the 200m individual medley Wednesday morning.
The former UGA Bulldog clocked the best time in his heat, at 1:57.38, easily securing one of the 16 spots in the semifinal races later Wednesday night. He'll be racing in one of two semifinals that begin at 11:08 p.m.
Gunnar Bentz
Bentz competed Monday at 10:40 p.m. in the men's 200m Butterfly.
The seasoned swimmer made history in 2016 as the University of Georgia's first male swimmer to earn a gold medal.
He said he wouldn't go in with any expectations, no goals of medals but instead having fun during his last Olympics. His mindset for Tokyo stems from his study of Thomas Carlyle's "Astor Resartus." Bentz particularly resonated with the quote "work while it's called today, for the night comes where no man can work," as he settles in for his last few years of swimming.
During the men's 200m Butterfly, he qualified for the finals. He finished fourth in his heat with the time of 1:55.28.
Bentz came in 7th place in his last Olympic race with a time of 1:55.46 in the men's 200m Butterfly finals. He said earlier in a social media post this would be his last race as a professional swimmer.
Andrew Wilson
Wilson placed 17 overall in the Men’s 200m breaststroke on Tuesday around 6:50 a.m. eastern.
With a time of 2:09.97, he did not qualify to advance to finals. He finished 6th in his specific race.
Wilson's journey to the 2020 Tokyo Olympics is unlike any other and he's making history. The 27-year-old is the first-ever Division III athlete to make the U.S. Olympic swimming team and Emory's first Olympian swimmer. He's a double major in applied math and had a 3.96 at Emory. He went on to train with a postgraduate team at the University of Georgia in Athens.
Wilson recently raced in the 100- and-200 meter breaststrokes in the qualifying rounds on Saturday, July 24.
Allison Schmitt
The four-time Olympian competed Monday morning in the heat for the women's 200m Freestyle. Schmitt came in fourth place with a time of 1:57.10 and qualified for the semifinals of her freestyle event.
Schmitt competed Monday at 9:30 p.m. for the Women's 200 Freestyle semifinals. However, during Monday night's semifinals, she did not qualify for the finals. She finished fifth in her heat with the time of 1:56.87.
The former University of Georgia bulldog has won eight Olympic medals and specializes in freestyle swimming.
