Woodward misses out on Olympics

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) - Oklahoma's Samantha Woodward fell short in her final bid to make the U.S. Olympic swimming team Sunday in the 50-meter freestyle. Woodward finished in 25.82 seconds for the 25th fastest time in the preliminaries. Only the top 16 swimmers moved on to the semifinals. Woodward, who competed at Edmond Memorial High School, was two-tenths of a second too slow to reach the semifinals. She also tried to make the Olympic team earlier this week in the 100 butterfly and the 100 freestyle. Lara Jackson had the best qualifying time in the 50 freestyle by breaking the American record. She finished in 24.50 seconds, breaking the record by three-hundredths of a second.
