Four members of the incoming Princeton women's swimming and diving Class of 2023 have qualified for the 2020 U.S. Olympic Trials in Omaha, Neb., next June.

"These four have had tremendous seasons and we are excited to kickstart our Olympic Trials presence with them," head coach Bret Lundgaard said. "Perhaps the most exciting common characteristic with this group is their versatility. They cover so many events and have an opportunity to continue adding Olympic Trial cuts to their event lists for Omaha. We are excited to add even more Tigers to our 2020 pursuit!"
Between the men's and women's competitions and across all events, more than 1,000 swimmers have earned the chance to swim in Omaha, and competitors can continue to qualify into next June. The top one to two finishers from each event will head to Tokyo with Team USA.
