[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another local swimmer: Erin Gemmell, who is from Potomac and attended Stone Ridge (like her idol Ledecky), placed 4th in the 200fr and has earned a spot in Paris for the women’s 4x200 fr relay. Australia is heavily favored to win that relay event, but should be an exciting race. [/quote]

I think she likely will be on that relay, and I personally hope she is! But unlike other events, relays don't HAVE to take the top finishers at trials. That will be decided next week.[/quote]
The top 4 finishers in the 200 free and 100 free all make the team, with the 3rd and 4th place finishers making it as part of the relays only. They also usually take 2 more swimmers for the relay who generally swim the relay prelims in the place of the fastest 2 swimmers who are also swimming the event individually. I don’t think those 2 swimmers necessarily have to be the 5th and 6th place finishers. USA swimming has already said Gemmell is on the team.
