WINDSOR, Canada – With 10 members of the 2016 United States Olympic Swimming Team leading the way, Team USA is set to open the FINA World Championships (25m) on Tuesday at Windsor, Canada’s WFCU Centre.
Among the 10 Olympians slated to compete at the six-day, short-course meters meet are four individual medalists from the Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games:
- Lilly King (Evansville, Ind./Indiana University) – Gold, 100m Breast
- Cody Miller (Las Vegas, Nev./Badger Swim Club) – Bronze, 100m Breast
- Josh Prenot (Santa Maria, Calif./California Aquatics) – Silver, 200m Breast
- Leah Smith (Pittsburgh, Pa./Cavalier Swimming) – Bronze, 400m Free
The complete 35-member roster for the United States is available at usaswimming.org.
Miller was one of five co-captains selected by the team. He is joined by fellow 2016 Olympian Tom Shields (Huntington Beach, Calif./California Aquatics) on the men’s side, while Madison Kennedy (Avon, Conn./SwimMAC Carolina) and 2016 Olympians Amanda Weir (Lawrenceville, Ga./Swim Atlanta) and Kelsi Worrell (Westhampton, N.J./University of Louisville) were named women’s co-captains.
Shields and Weir are fresh off victories at last weekend’s USA Swimming AT&T Winter National Championships in Atlanta, where Shields set an American record of 43.84 in the 100-yard butterfly.
