Former University of Minnesota swimming star Jillian Tyler has earned a spot in the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.
Tyler, a Canadian, won the 100-meter breaststroke Thursday night during her country's Olympic trials in Montreal. Her time of 1 minute, 7.18 seconds was well under the Olympic qualifying time of 1:08.49.
This will be the 23-year-old's second Olympics. In Beijing in 2008, she finished tied for 13th in the semifinals and did not advance to the finals.
One of the most decorated swimmers in Gophers history, Tyler was NCAA champion in the 100-yard breaststroke in her senior season in 2011.
Tyler, of Calgary, finished her college career as a 13-time All-America and an eight-time Big Ten champion.
