13News reporter Samantha Johnson breaks down what happened in the prelims during day six of the U.S. Olympic Swim Trials in Indianapolis.
Regan Smith won the opening event of Day 6 of the U.S. Swim Trials, but a Carmel teenager finished second to secure her spot in Paris.
King rallied over the final 25 meters to take second place to Kate Douglass in the 200-meter breaststroke and earn her place in another event in Paris. She was third as the swimmers made their turn into the final 50 meters, trailing Kate Douglass and Alex Walsh, with the top two finishers earning an Olympic spot.
After Lilly King qualified for her second race for the Paris Olympics, her fiancé gave her a ring of her own. 💍Her fellow Olympians were also swept up in the moment. Douglass walked by the proposal as she left the pool area, smiling wide with her hands to her face. NBC's cameras also caught Regan Smith watching backstage, moments before she returned to the pool.
