BYU senior Payton Sorenson qualified for the Olympic Swimming Trials in the 50-meter freestyle at the U.S. Winter Nationals in Greensboro, North Carolina, on Thursday.
“I’m so proud of Payton,” BYU head coach John Brooks said. “He has worked really hard toward his goal of being one of the best swimmers in the world. I hope some of that rubs off on the other swimmers at nationals as well.”
On the second day of the long-course meet, Sorenson swam a time of 22.77 in the prelims of the 50-meter freestyle event, qualifying him for the 2020 Olympic Trials.
