    Lilly King captured Olympic qualification in a second event Thursday night at U.S. Olympic Team Trials at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.

    But that was only the beginning of a memorable night for the legendary former IU swimmer.

    King finished second in the women’s 200-meter breaststroke in a time of 2:21.93. The three-time Olympian split 36.50 in the final 50 to overtake Alex Walsh and finish in front of her by 45 hundredths of a second.

    Per NBC, King will become the first U.S. swimmer to compete in the 100-meter and 200-meter breaststroke in three straight Olympics.

    Moments after King’s race finished, former IU swimmer James Wells proposed to King on her way to the warm down pool. King accepted and proudly showed off her engagement ring to a loud ovation from the Indianapolis crowd during the 200 breast medal ceremony.

    From quaifying for Paris in a second event … To getting engaged! 🥹
