The path to Paris was a long and difficult one for sophomore Regan Rathwell. After arriving on campus as one of the best backstrokers in her class, she suffered a season-ending injury in October 2022. From there, she wouldn't perform in a major meet until March 2024, when she earned a spot at the NCAA Championships. After the delays, her full potential was put on display when she posted an Olympic qualifying mark of 2:09.38 in the 200 back during the Canadian Olympic Trials in May to earn a spot on Team Canada.
