On a busy day, Missy Franklin just didn't have enough left in the tank.

At the U.S. Olympic swimming trials on Tuesday in Omaha, the 21-year-old finished seventh in the 100m backstroke, failing to qualify for the 2016 Rio Olympics.

The race was Franklin's third of the day -- she finished tied for seventh in the 200m freestyle prelims on Tuesday morning, then qualified for the finals of that event just 20 minutes before the 100m backstroke.
