Yes, she was devastated that <strong>Lydia Jacoby,<\/strong> the gold medalist at the Tokyo Olympics in the 100 breast, didn\u2019t qualify to defend her crown in Paris. But in the same breath, King was ecstatic to see Emma Weber vault into the echelon of Olympians.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s how this meet rolls,\u201d King said. \u201cIt will make your career or break your career in a minute. It\u2019s the hardest meet in the world. It\u2019s a lot harder than the Olympics, in my opinion.\u201d<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/meet\/2024-us-olympic-trials-indianapolis\">Meet Page<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.omegatiming.com\/2024\/u-s-olympic-team-trials---swimming-live-results\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Results<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Monday night, it made Weber\u2019s career. Or rather, in 1 minute, 6.10 seconds, she fashioned a new headline for her career.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m actually at a loss for words right now,\u201d Weber said. \u201cI looked up, and I was like, \u2018I don\u2019t think that\u2019s right.\u2019 It\u2019s an amazing feeling. It\u2019s a tribute to my whole team because I couldn\u2019t have done it without the UVA girls. It\u2019s amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Weber is the latest among many tributes to what UVA swimming has achieved under <strong>Todd DeSorbo.<\/strong> She didn\u2019t exactly come out of nowhere, but compared to Jacoby or <strong>Alex Walsh,<\/strong> she was perhaps not the betting favorite for a ticket to Paris.<\/p>\n<p>The Colorado native attended Regis Jesuit High School, <strong>Missy Franklin\u2019s<\/strong> alma mater, where she was a state champion and a U.S. junior national teamer. She went 1:08.18 for 12th place at Olympic Trials in 2021, then placed eighth in the 100 breast at NCAAs as a freshman for the Cavaliers\u2019 national titlists. She was 11th in that event this year after two A finals at ACCs.<\/p>\n<p>So if Weber was struck Monday night by the unlikely nature of what she accomplished, she wasn\u2019t alone.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo, actually I had no idea,\u201d she said when asked if she thought it possible. \u201cI thought I could have been capable because of the people I\u2019m surrounded with every day in practice. Going into it, I was like, \u2018I have one of the best training groups in the country for breaststroke. Maybe it\u2019s a possibility.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Weber has showed glimpses of that speed this year. She went 1:07.39 at nationals in 2023, but sped up to 1:06.50 at the TYR Pro Swim Series in San Antonio in April. That was the swim that indicated to DeSorbo that something was brewing.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;She had nothing to lose,&#8221; DeSorbo said Tuesday. &#8220;A year ago, nobody knew who Emma Weber was. \u2026 We had a feeling she was going to have a shot coming into the meet, but to be able to keep your composure, to do that in that type of situation, it\u2019s unreal.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Weber is the third member of the Charlottesville delegation to book places in Paris, with <strong>Paige Madden<\/strong> and <strong>Gretchen Walsh. Kate Douglass<\/strong> has yet to swim, and Alex Walsh has strong events to come, each with a good chance to get on the plane. Weber said she heard DeSorbo\u2019s voice echoing in her brain in her final preparations at Lucas Oil Stadium: \u201cGo out there and do the best you can. Rely on what you\u2019ve been doing in practice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you become a part of the team, you learn the belief in your teammates, and that just helps you believe in yourself,\u201d Weber said. \u201cWe do a really good job of believing in each other, and having the ability to believe in someone else and my teammates has allowed me to have more belief in myself because I have a family that believes in me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The team aspect included a chance to walk off the deck surrounded by Alex Walsh, who finished sixth, and <strong>Ella Nelson,<\/strong> who was eighth, the UVA delegation sharing in a moment that Weber knew in part owed to their influence.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It\u2019s always so awesome to see someone who\u2019s an underdog making it,&#8221; Alex Walsh said. &#8220;In Emma\u2019s case, I think she felt the pressure being the third seed coming into this meet, and obviously to have another Virginia girl qualify is a dream come true for us as friends and for us as a program. I think her making it is just a testament to the fact that we produce really good international swimmers and also short-course swimmers. I couldn\u2019t be prouder of her. It was just such a nice moment to have us three in that pool together.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019ve been huge role models to me,\u201d she said. \u201cI wouldn\u2019t have made it this far without them. Having them there made it extra special.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>U.S. Olympic Trials: Dream Swim in 100 Breast Lands Emma Weber Olympic Berth Leave it to Lilly King, elder stateswoman of American breaststroke and in many ways the moral compass<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8367,"featured_media":588304,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"dois","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[3,122077,7],"tags":[130746,52974,52106,56349,42783,70003],"class_list":["post-588354","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured","category-americas","category-usa","tag-2024-us-olympic-trials-indianapolis","tag-alex-walsh","tag-ella-nelson","tag-emma-weber","tag-lilly-king","tag-lydia-jacoby"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.3 (Yoast SEO v24.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\r\n<title>U.S. Olympic Trials: Dream Swim in 100 Breast Lands Emma Weber Olympic Berth<\/title>\r\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Monday night, Olympic Trials made Emma Weber\u2019s career.
