Washington Post article on Andrew Wilson, the former Emory swimmer, who just made the U.S. Olympic Team for Tokyo. He just missed in 2016. The article says he's the first DIII swimmer ever to make the Olympics.

That's a great article.

Final result for Andrew Wilson -- he was fast enough in the prelims and semifinals to make the top 8 and swim for a medal, but finished tied for 6th overall. A great performance.

Final result for Andrew Miller -- he was fast enough in the prelims and semifinals to make the top 8 and swim for a medal, but finished 7th overall. A great performance.

Actually T6 per the official Olympics site :)

After his terrific performance in the 100 meter breaststroke, Andrew Wilson barely missed qualifying, by one spot, for the semifinal in the 200 meter breaststroke.
