Meili won a bronze medal in the 100 breast at the Olympic Games in Rio, and she became a gold medalist a few days later when she provided the prelims leg for the U.S. 400 medley relay that went on to win gold in the final. Meili’s split of 1:04.93 turned out to be the fastest breaststroke leg from either prelims or finals, and the U.S. prelims squad actually would have won the silver medal in the finals behind the “A” team.

Meili continues to train with Team Elite in Charlotte, N.C., under coach David Marsh.
