By the time Emma Weyant arrives on Grounds this fall, she could already be an Olympic gold medalist. The incoming first year finished first in her heat in the 400-meter Individual Medley (IM), and she will be seeded No. 1 overall in tonight’s final. Her time of 4:33.55 was the fastest of the night, and a new personal best for Weyant.

“I’m really happy with my time,” Weyant told media after the race. “It’s right what I went off of at trials.” Her time from the trials was the fastest swam in the event this year, and she beat that in her first heat in Tokyo.
