She qualified second for the 1500 freestyle final with a 15:54.23, and is in position to at least win a silver medal to go along with the silver she won behind <strong>Katie Ledecky<\/strong> in 2013.<\/p>\n<p>Friis, 27, had been part of a talented group of elite postgraduate swimmers at North Baltimore since fall 2013, moving to the United States after a stint in France. She didn\u2019t perform well in 2014, and concerns about finances pushed her to consider a return to her homeland. When Bowman <a href=http:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/michael-phelps-bob-bowman-heading-to-arizona-state-university\/ target=_blank>accepted the job as head coach at Arizona State University<\/a>, some of the NBAC swimmers chose to follow Bowman to Arizona, while others moved to new teams.<\/p>\n<p>Along with Phelps, <strong>Allison Schmitt<\/strong> and <strong>Chase Kalisz<\/strong> will spend the next year in Arizona preparing for the Olympic Trials. Friis will continue to have fast teammates in Baltimore, including newly-minted Pan American Games champion <strong>Sierra Schmidt<\/strong>. Friis said she\u2019s enjoyed the changes that have come with moving to the United States, and finds North Baltimore to be the best fit at this point in her career.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI feel like Denmark was at one end of the spectrum, and France was at the other end, and I feel like the United States was in between,\u201d Friis said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Denmark\u2019s
