Team USA is officially set for the 2024 Paris Olympics.
The U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee on Wednesday unveiled the full, final roster for its 2024 Olympic team, a group of nearly 600 athletes who will represent the United States across 31 different sports for the Paris Games, which run from July 26 to Aug. 11.
Among them is Germantown Hills swimmer Anna Peplowski, who qualified for her first Olympics and will compete as part of the 4x200-meter freestyle relay. She is one of 340 first-time Olympians on Team USA — with roughly 57 percent of the roster making their debut.

Peplowski is one of 27 athletes from Illinois on the roster. California leads the way with nearly 20 percent of the roster from the Golden State. Florida is home state to 44 Team USA athletes, while Texas has 38.
Team USA will feature 592 athletes from 46 states and the District of Columbia, ranging in age from 16 to almost 60. The contingent is slightly smaller than the team at the most recent Summer Games in Tokyo (613 athletes) but quite a bit larger than the 2016 team in Rio de Janeiro (554).
The U.S. will have at least one athlete competing in 31 of the 32 sports on the Paris program, with team handball the only exception. Track and field has the largest contingent with 120 athletes while rhythmic gymnastics and modern pentathlon have one each.
