King Closes Olympic Career with Relay Gold, World Record
By CCO Staff
Locals had plenty to cheer about while watching Lilly King take to the water in her final Olympic competition.
Evansville’s King ended her career on a high note when she and Team USA struck gold in the Women’s 4×100-Meter Medley and set a world record with a time of 3:49.63.
The Reitz graduate has won a medal at all three Olympics she has competed in, including three gold medals.
While watching Team USA and cheering them on to victory is a fun way to spend a summer day, it’s even more special when you know you could encounter that gold medalist on the street someday. We are all proud of Lilly King and want to congratulate her on her latest Olympic gold medal.
