Hey, it’s an Olympic summer in case you forgot, and that means there are some current, former, and even future Ohio State athletes looking to make a name for themselves on the world stage in Paris.
One discipline in particular has a bushel of Scarlet and Gray vying for a chance to exchange the Scarlet and Gray for the Red, White, and Blue of the good ‘ole U.S.A. In total, 31 Buckeyes are set to compete in the U.S. swimming and diving team’s Olympic trials.
The swimming portion of the trials will take place from 15-23 at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, and diving will be held June 17-23 at the Allan Jones Aquatic Center in Knoxville, Tennessee.
