Lilly King and Ryan Murphy are bound for their third straight Olympics after victories Monday at the U.S. Olympic swimming trials, where Katie Ledecky expanded her options for her fourth consecutive Games in Paris.
World record-holder King led all the way to win the 100 breaststroke in 1:05.43 and line up a chance to regain the Olympic title she won in Rio de Janeiro in 2016.
She was followed home by Emma Weber in 1:06.10 while Tokyo gold medalist Lydia Jacoby finished third — shut out of a chance to defend her title in the pressure-cooker trials that see only the top two finishers qualify for individual Olympic swims.
