Effingham's Avery Braunecker is in Omaha, Nebraska, getting ready for the US Olympic Swimming and Diving Trials.

Avery will swim today in the 100 meter freestyle. Although she did not qualify to attempt the finals, she said this week that swimming in the 100 is an effort to get rid of any jitters.

Avery will be competing on Saturday in the 50 meter qualifying. While this year's competition is plenty exciting, Avery has indicated that this is an opportunity to build confidence for the 2020 Olympics, when she thinks she'll have her best chance to advance.
