Narrowly missing an Olympics berth in 2012 by 12-hundredths of a second, Plummer nearly left the sport but came back strong in search of his first Olympic berth. En route to becoming the oldest Olympic rookie in American swimming history, the 30-year old got married and had two children (including a son six weeks old at the 2016 Olympic Trials). Being on the team in Rio wasn’t enough, as he raced to the podium in the 100m backstroke for a bronze medal in his first-ever Olympic event, later adding a gold as part of the 400m medley relay team.
