Former NC State Swimmer Ryan Held Makes the Olympic Team for the 2nd Time
Former NC State Swimmer Ryan Held has made the United States Olympic Team for the 2nd Time.
Held previously made the Olympic Team in 2016, when he won a Gold medal in the 4×100 Freestyle Relay, teaming up with Michael Phelps, Caeleb Dressel and Nathan Adrian.
The 2020 Olympics were a mess due to the Covid-19 pandemic, pushing them to 2021, but they were also a mess for Held. In the Olympic Trials in 2021, Held finished 6th in the 100 Freestyle, which normally would have secured him a spot on the Olympic Team. Due to roster limitations, only the Top-5 made the Olympic team instead.
This year, Held made sure he was going to the Olympics, finishing 5th in the 100 Freestyle, once again earning a spot on the Olympic Team in the 4×100 Freestyle Relay.
