This young lady is an amazing swimmer and will only get better. Congratulations to her! ANCHORAGE, Alaska (KTUU) - Seward swimmer Lydia Jacoby took second place Tuesday in the women’s 100-meter breaststroke during the U.S. Olympic Trials in Omaha, Nebraska, making her poised to join the U.S. Olympic Team and head to the Tokyo Olympic Games. Jacoby, 17, would become the first ever Alaskan to join the team. She must wait until later in the trials for her spot on the team to be confirmed, according to NBC Sports. Second-place finishers are not automatically guaranteed a spot, due to a team size cap. Jacoby nabbed second in the final heat of the women’s 100-meter breaststroke with a time of 1 minute, 5.28 seconds. According to swimswam.com, she finished just tenths of a second ahead of third-place finisher Annie Lazor, who finished in 1:05.60. Jacoby is set to head to the Summer Olympics with world record-holder and 2016 Olympic champion Lilly King, who secured a return spot on the team with a first-place finish Tuesday at the Trials in 1:04.79. https://www.alaskasnewssource.com/2...ad-tokyo-takes-second-us-olympic-trials/

They way it's going, she'll be 25 by the time the Tokyo Olympics are actually held.

Congratulations ,Lydia.
There are swimming pools in Seward? Of course. It’s a very humble pool in an older school, but like almost all pools here, it’s just 6 lane; 25 yard.

Wow! I dunno what age competitive swimmers peak but I’m guessing she has some good years ahead.
