"I hit the board and I looked right over and I was like 'wow okay I made the time' so that was really exciting for me and I was a little bit emotional because I have been going after this goal for so long and it has been one of my dreams since I was 12-years-old. So being able to get this, it felt amazing," Umstead said.

Umstead will race in the 200m breaststroke prelims starting on Thursday. FOX 17 will keep you updated on Sophia's progress towards qualifying for the Olympics.
