While Dana Vollmer made the USA Olympic Swim Team in the 100m butterfly today, Stephanie Peacock is still in the hunt in the 400m freestyle, seeded fifth in the finals with a time of 4:08.23 in the 400m freestyle at the U.S. Olympic Team Trials.
But Haley Anderson just missed making the finals by 0.4 seconds as she finished 9th in 4:10.90 while Ashley Twichell finished 11th in 4:11.17 and Becca Mann did not advance to the final heats, finishing 14th in 4:11.59.
Peacock, Anderson, Twichell and Mann will compete again in the heats of the 800m freestyle.
