The 32-year-old swimming great missed out on qualifying for the final on Friday by just 0.01 of a second.<\/p>\n

Campbell's personal best is 52.03 and she is the former world record holder, while her seed time for the trials was 53.23.<\/p>\n

Her hopes of qualifying as either an individual 100m freestyle swimmer or a 100m \ufefffreestyle relay swimmer are dashed.<\/p>\n

Her only remaining path to the Dolphins' Paris Games team\ufeff is the 50m freestyle, but she will take to Saturday's heats of the one-lap dash as only the third seed.<\/p>\n

Athletes will earn a spot in the Olympic 50m freestyle if they finish in the top two in the final and hit Swimming Australia's Olympic qualification time of 24.67.\ufeff<\/p>\n

Meg Harris progressed to the 100m freestyle final as the fastest qualifier, clocking 52.52.<\/p>\n

Campbell will take a seed time of 24.10 into Saturday's 50m freestyle heats.<\/p>\n

McKeon is the top seed with a time of 23.99 and Jack the second seed with a time of 24.01.\ufeff<\/p>\n

Cate's younger sister, 30-year-old Bronte, had kind words in a brief chat with reporters.<\/p>\n

"I'm obviously really disappointed for Cate," Bronte said.<\/p>\n

"She's one of our most incredible athletes we've ever had in this event\ufeff … She was our No.1 freestyler for 10, 11, 12 years in a row. That's a feat that's pretty much unmatched in Australian sporting history.<\/p>\n

"I know she was a bit ill leading into this and had a rough last few weeks.<\/p>\n

"I'm sure she'll be disappointed because we all know she's an incredible athlete\ufeff and can swim a lot faster than that."<\/p>\n

Cate Campbell will become the first Australian swimmer to contest five Olympic Games if she scrapes onto the team on Saturday.<\/p>\n
