    Olympic gold medalist Tyler McGill says he hopes to swim in the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.

    But itโ€™s not as if the 25-year-old Champaign Central product has booked a hotel suite in Rio de Janeiro in 2016.

    โ€œIโ€™m just going year by year. Itโ€™d be really difficult to put all your efforts into something thatโ€™s 31/2 years away,โ€ McGill said Monday on the eve of the U.S. Championships in Indianapolis. โ€œRio is out there. But I donโ€™t want to throw all my eggs in one basket at this time.โ€
