US Men’s 200 Breaststroke Rankings (Since September 1, 2023)
- Cody Miller – 2:09.80
- Matt Fallon – 2:09.86
- Nic Fink – 2:10.55
- Jake Foster – 2:10.71
- Jordan Willis – 2:12.07
For Miller, this swim marks a milestone in his effort to qualify for his second Olympic Team next summer. After qualifying for the 2016 Olympic Team in the 100 breaststroke and coming away from the Olympics with a bronze medal, Miller’s career hit a slump. Though he qualified for the 2017 World Championships, he was unable to win any medals individually. Since then, Miller has only been on one Team USA roster, representing the nation at the 2019 Pan American Games.
At 31-years-old, Miller remains in the running to make the Olympic Team. However, he’ll still have many challenges to overcome, including a slew of young swimmers looking to make their impact on the Olympic stage like Matt Fallon and Jake Foster.

I have met Cody!! Great guy! Go him!
2020(1) Olympic trials in the 200 br: first, 2:07.55; second, 2:08.32; and third, 2:08.50. With a 2:09.80 today, Cody is a real threat to make the team. I think the little break he took did him a lot of good.
He is tapered and shaved at this meet.
Update the world record? Lol
This is great news to wake up to. Good on him!
I think Cody will make the 2024 Olympic Team with Jake Foster!
Congratulations on a great swim
Honestly, love that for him.
IU Miller/Matheny/Yep/Reich combo at trials will be devastating in the 200
One thing about cody , he never settle, he backs up from his work ethics.
Coach Ray looze Inspiration to all swimmers want to improve in the pool , out the pool cody is the example.
I would make him team captain for 2024
Cody would have to make the team to be captain, which is not happening
