Former Auburn Swimmer Makes Olympic Team

By Associated Press

Ohaha, NE – Former Auburn swimmer Mark Gangloff has earned a spot on the U.S. Olympic swimming team. At Monday night's U.S. Olympic Trials, Gangloff finished second in the 100 meter breaststroke with a time of 1 minute, 43 seconds.

Ex-Texas swimmer Brendan Hansen was first - just missing the world record in the semifinals with a time of 59.93.

Gangloff locked up his second consecutive trip to the Olympic games in Beijing. He earned a gold medal as a member of the 400 meter medley relay team at the Athens Games.
