Two-time high school state breaststroke champion Heather Harper qualified for the 2012 U.S. Olympic Trials in the 100-meter breaststroke last Saturday at the King County Aquatics Center in Federal Way, clocking a time of 1 minute, 12.14 seconds.

Harper, who swam for Redmond High School, qualified seventh for the breaststroke championship finals of the USA Swimming Sectionals, where she climbed up to fourth and barely got under the time standard of 1:12.19 to earn her first Trials berth.

Harper became the fifth current Boise State Bronco to qualify for the Trials, which will be held from June 25-July 2 in Omaha, Neb.
