Katie Ledecky secured her third victory at the U.S. Olympic Swimming Trials, dominating the 1500m freestyle with a time of 15:37.35, significantly ahead of her competitors and reinforcing her status as the top swimmer in this event. Ledecky also won the 200m and 400m freestyle and is expected to win the 800m freestyle at the Paris Olympics. Meanwhile, Caeleb Dressel and Simone Manuel, both returning from long layoffs, secured relay spots but failed to qualify for individual events in the 100m freestyle. Dressel finished third, while Manuel placed fourth, with Kate Douglass and Torri Huske claiming the top spots. Teenager Thomas Heilman made history by becoming the youngest American male swimmer to qualify for the Olympics in 24 years, winning the 200m butterfly.
