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.

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.
