Natalie Coughlin kept her last chance for London alive by making it through the semifinals of the 100-meter freestyle Friday night in Omaha, Neb.
She joins three other former Cal swimmers in Saturday's final: Dana Vollmer, Madison Kennedy and Jessica Hardy.
Eight swimmers made it to the 100 free finals; six will move on to London. The top two will swim for the U.S. in individual competition while the other four will fill out the relay squad.
The 100 free finals are the second to last event Saturday night.
