Meanwhile, Nunn won the men's race (1:25:37), but failed to achieve the entry standard of 1:24:00.[7]

U.S. swimmers achieved qualifying standards in the following events (up to a maximum of 2 swimmers in each event at the Olympic Qualifying Time (OQT), and potentially 1 at the Olympic Selection Time (OST)).[86][87] To assure their selection to the U.S. team, swimmers had to attain a top two finish in each individual pool event under the Olympic qualifying time at the 2016 Olympic Trials (June 26 to July 3) inOmaha, Nebraska.
A total of 47 swimmers (25 men and 22 women) were named to the U.S. Olympic team at the end of the trials, with the most decorated OlympianMichael Phelps emerging as the first ever male American to compete at his fifth Games, long-distance aceJordan Wilimovsky becoming the first to double in pool and open water, andAnthony Ervin making history as the oldest male to swim in an individual event since 1904. Notable swimmers also included 11-time medalistRyan Lochte, world record holderKatie Ledecky, and reigning Olympic championsMissy Franklin,Dana Vollmer, andAllison Schmitt.[88]
On August 11, 2016, Phelps set another historic record as the first ever swimmer to earn four consecutive gold medals in the men's 200 m individual medley.[89] Ledecky's final medal total (four golds, one silver) is the most decorated single-Olympics performance by a U.S. female athlete in terms of gold medals, topping Missy Franklin (2012; four golds, 1 bronze), Simone Biles (2016; four golds, 1 bronze), andAmy Van Dyken (1996; four golds).[90]
