PARIS — A Pittsburgh-area swimmer has made it to the final race for the 200 Meter Breaststroke.
Josh Matheny, a 2021 Upper St. Clair High School graduate, raced twice on Tuesday in his Olympic debut. Once in a heat race in the morning, and then in the semifinal in the afternoon.
He advanced to the final race after taking fourth place in his semifinal heat with a time of 2:09.70.
The top eight swimmers advanced from the two semifinal heats — Matheny came in 6th place.
