The champion swimmer has won 18 World Championship medals to this day with 15 gold and three silvers. Heading into the World Championships trials from April 26-30 in Greensboro, N.C., she is once again the favorite to book her tickets to Hungary. The top two swimmers per event will make the team to Budapest. The four events in which she will compete are the 200, 400, 800, and 1500-meter freestyle competitions.
