INDIANAPOLIS — Chris Guiliano is a United States Olympian.
On Monday, the rising Irish senior qualified for Team USA in the 200 meter freestyle with a time of 1:45.38. He is guaranteed a spot on the men’s 800 freestyle relay, and he will also likely swim the men’s 200 freestyle individual event as a result of taking second place at Olympic Trials. He is the first ever varsity male swimmer out of Notre Dame to make the American Olympic team.
“I love these guys,” Guiliano said of his three fellow teammates who qualified for Team USA alongside him. “I’m excited to keep the relationship going forward. I can’t believe it”
Guiliano adds Olympian to his already lengthy list of accolades. He is a four-time individual ACC champion, five-time NCAA First Team All-American, and helped the Irish to their first ever top-10 finish at NCAA Championships in March.
