Raleigh, N.C. — Claire Curzan's Olympic journey will continue on Friday.

Claire's father, Mark Curzan, told WRAL she was selected to swim the butterfly leg in the 4x100 women’s medley relay preliminaries at the Tokyo Games sometime on Friday morning.

Last weekend, Curzan swam in the 100-meter butterfly semifinal with a time of 57.42 seconds, giving her a tenth-place finish. Curzan, who calls Cary home and is a rising senior at Cardinal Gibbons High School, finished in 57.49 seconds in the qualifying meet.
