Today is the opening ceremony for the Summer Olympics in Paris. The games run until August 11th with the highly anticipated swimming events beginning tomorrow. The US women's team features three swimmers from the same all-girls Catholic high school outside the nation's capital. The trio is led by Katie Ledecky. She is in the Olympics for the 4th time and has won 7 gold medals. She is joined by 2 other graduates from Stone Ridge School. Phoebe Bacon, now at the University of Wisconsin, is in her second Olympics, Erin Gemmell, from the University of Texas, is in her first. Ledecky and Gemmell are even set to be on the same 4x200 relay team.
