OMAHA, Neb. – There will be 21 current and former University of Texas Women’s Swimmers heading to the Olympic Trials in Omaha, Neb. June 25-July 2.

The trials will be held at the CenturyLink Center in Omaha. The prelims will begin at 10 a.m. (CDT) each day while the finals take place at 6:45 p.m. (CDT). A total of 26 men and 26 women will represent the U.S. at the 2012 Olympic Games. Each of the top two swimmers in every event, plus four more in the 100m and 200m will qualify for the National Team the U.S. will send to London.

Hersey qualified for the 2008 Beijing Olympics in the 200 butterfly and will compete in four events next week. Woods will be swimming in five different events.
