IU alumna Lilly King has a chance to make history Monday in the 100-meter breaststroke.
On Sunday in Paris, the Evansville, Ind. product advanced to the final for her third straight Olympic Games.
With a top-three performance, King would become the first American to capture three Olympic medals in the 100 breast. She would join Australian Leisel Jones as the only two women to complete the feat.
King is set to race at 3:25 p.m. ET Monday from lane No. 3. The event will air on NBC and Peacock.
King finished third in the semifinal Sunday inside La Défense Arena, going 1:05.64, while racing between fellow former gold medalists Ruta Meilutytė (2012) and Tatiana Smith (2020).
Indiana Swim Club teammate Kotryna Teterevkova placed 16th in the semifinal.
