Roll Call, May 16, 2024: Alabama Swimmer Qualifies for Olympic Trials
Alabama swimmer Liberty Williams competed in the Olympic Trial Cut on Wednesday, finishing the 1500m freestyle with a time of 16:42.82. That time was good enough to qualify her for Olympic Trials later this summer.
Williams, a senior, is finishing up her lone season at Alabama after transferring from Louisville, where she spent the previous three years. Trials for the Olympic swim team will take place from June 13-15, with the chance to compete in the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris.
