Erika Brown to swim in 50-meter final trials
A former Lady Vol swimmer will have a chance to qualify for a second event for the upcoming 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo.
University of Tennessee graduate Erika Brown will swim in the finals of the 50-meter freestyle today at the U.S. Swim Trials at CHI Health Center in Omaha, Nebraska.
Brown punched a ticket to Tokyo Friday night when she made the field in the 100-meter freestyle.
She followed that up Saturday by finishing second in the first semifinal heat of the 50-meter freestyle. Brown touched the wall in 24.57 seconds and matched her best time in the event.
The U.S. Swim Trials will be televised on NBC at 8 p.m. EDT.
Brown had a stellar swim career on Rocky Top. During her time with the Lady Vols, she earned 21 All-America certificates, including eight during her senior season in 2020.
She also owns 23 Southeastern Conference medals.
