Swimming for Late Brother, Louisville\u2019s Tommy Bried has Unforgettable Trials<\/strong><\/p>\n

Four times Tuesday at the U.S. Olympic Trials in Indianapolis\u2019 Lucas Oil Stadium, Tommy Bried<\/strong> got a chance to step up to the blocks.<\/p>\n

Each time, the well-coiffed Louisville senior needed look no further than high on his hip for his reason why.<\/p>\n

Bried assembled a wild program on the fourth day of Trials. After finishing fifth in the men\u2019s 400 individual medley to open the meet<\/a>, Bried faced an unprecedented double. He swam the first heat of the men\u2019s 200 butterfly, the opening heat of the lengthiest prelims session of the week. He\u2019d wait until just after 2 p.m. to get back in the water for the 200 breaststroke.<\/p>\n

Improbably, Bried made it back to semifinals in both \u2013 from the first heat to 12th place overall in prelims in the 200 fly; from heat 4 of 10 to 15th place in the 200 breast.<\/p>\n

Racing is the fun part for Bried. But he carries another reason for pushing himself: For the memory of his late brother, Jimmy Bried.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI’ve always loved doing a lot of races,\u201d Tommy said. \u201cThat’s big for me. The 2-breast has always been special for me. My older brother passed away, and he was 200 breaststroker. So that’s always good for me to get back up and swim that for him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jimmy Bried was 17 years old in 2018 when he died<\/a> from suicide. Natives of Powder Springs, Ga., the Bried brothers swam together at ACE Aquatics and Hillgrove High School. Two and a half years younger, Tommy looked up to his brother. They swam together most of their upbringing, save for an interlude when Jimmy was out of the water with a heart condition.<\/p>\n

Tommy\u2019s appreciation for their time together is sharpened by hindsight of what he now misses to deeply. He carries Jimmy\u2019s memory with him at all times: A tattoo on his left hip of Clifford the Big Red Dog, with Tommy\u2019s signature underneath.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat’s always with me,\u201d he said. \u201c\u2026 I thought about him, racing next to guys that he got to race next to all his life, and now I get to race against them in some way.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tommy Bried has had his struggles on this swimming journey. Shoulder surgery all but wrote off his freshman year at Louisville, and it\u2019s been a multi-year rebuild back to the speed that qualified him for U.S. Olympic Trials in 2021. At NCAAs as a sophomore, he finished 31st in the 400 IM and 34th in the 200 fly, then 19th and 28th, respectively, in those events.<\/p>\n

In long course, his best time in the 200 fly had remained stuck at 1:59.69 from Phillips 66 Nationals in the summer of 2022. His 1:57.59 Tuesday demolished that. Ditto the 200 breast, in which he went 2:16.10 during the summer of 2023 to a quantum leap of 2:11.96.<\/p>\n

He likewise set a best time in the 200 IM two days later, though he finished 41st in 2:02.32. His best 400 IM of 4:15.01 at Trials constituted a cut of 3.98 seconds from his seed time.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s got a strong support system at Louisville. He and Zach Harting,<\/strong> the Louisville pro, train together in fly. They had a bet as to who would finish better in the 200, which Harting won on the way to the A final, though the Tokyo Olympian fell just shy of a second Olympics. In the 200 breast, Kyrgyzstani Olympian Denis Petrashov<\/strong> pushes him Bried, both chasing the school meters record that Petrashov holds.<\/p>\n

\u201cZach and I have been training for three years together,\u201d Bried said. \u201cI knew what he’s done, what I need to do. And we’ve been looking to come back for as many second swims as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

The relationship between Harting and Bried was summed up nicely by Harting ending his answer with, \u201cDon\u2019t tell him I\u2019m proud of him; it\u2019ll go to his head.\u201d The Louisville flyers with wild blonde locks have what sounds like a brotherhood, the colorful Harting lovingly calling him a \u201cgoober.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTo put it bluntly, I’ve yelled at Tommy a lot,\u201d Harting said. \u201cHe’s a goober. But he’s somebody that works hard. And I think to be successful at this level, you have to just keep seeing yourself in bigger stages. And I think that’s something that he does. \u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cLet alone to do two prelims 200s, and then come back at night and do two more in less span of time than he had in the morning. Four two hundreds in a day \u2013 I threw up after my finals one and I only had to do one, and he had to do four for the day. There’s not very many people that can execute at that level like he did.\u201d<\/p>\n

There aren\u2019t many people who swim with something in the past like what Tommy Bried has. But on a day like Tuesday that goes down as a career highlight, calling to mind Jimmy only sweetens the achievement.<\/p>\n

\u201cI get to swim,\u201d he said, \u201cand honor him in that way.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
