The Olympics will take place in Tokyo, Japan from July 23 to August 8.
Ranked as one of the top breaststrokers in the country, Wilson gets another opportunity to make the US Olympic team roster as he will by vying for qualifying spots in both the 100 LCM and 200 LCM Breaststroke events in Omaha. Back at the 2016 Olympic Trials, Wilson placed fifth in the 100 Breaststroke and fourth in the 200 Breaststroke.
He enters this year's competition with the No. 1 overall seed time in the 100 at 58.93 and owns the second fastest seed time in the 200 at 2:07.77. The Olympic Team Trials serves as the only selection meet for swimmers to qualify for the U.S. Olympic Team with the top two fastest swimmers in each event qualifying to swim for Team USA at the Olympics.
Preliminaries and semifinals of the 100 Breaststroke are scheduled for Sunday, June 13 with the finals to take place on Monday, June 14. For the 200 Breaststroke, preliminaries and semifinals sessions will take place on Wednesday, June 16 with the finals to follow Thursday night, June 17.
