In a bid for Olympic medals, U.S. Swimming likes to cast a big net, head coach Brent Arckey said on Wednesday, and after a dominant display at the Pan American Games a Paris podium or two may have surfaced at the Aquatic Center Laguna Los Morros.
With big guns like Caeleb Dressel and Katie Ledecky back home, the U.S. leaned on a mostly B Team in Chile and still reigned supreme by winning 19 gold and 45 medals from 36 races.
Relative newcomers to the international stage like Rachel Stege, who crushed the Pan American Games record on the way to winning the 1,500m, will benefit from their experience in Santiago but taking on the likes of Ledecky at June's Olympic trials in Indianapolis will be another level. "We cast a huge net the year before the Olympic trials and Olympic Games trying to make sure we give a lot of people opportunity to get international experience which only sets us up to be better in 2024.
Arckey noted that the U.S. competed in four major international meets this season and topped the medals table in each with different teams.
