OMAHA, Neb. --Â In the penultimate night of U.S. Olympic Team Trials,
Elizabeth Beisel and
Caeleb Dressel fell short of qualifying for Rio in additional events.
Beisel had an opportunity to add the women's 200 back to her Olympic schedule, but she finished seventh in the final at 2:11.12. Beisel has been swimming with a sprained and fractured left pinky finger since Tuesday, when she and another swimmer collided in a warm-up pool.
Beisel will compete in the 400 IM in Rio.
