Jun 30, 2016, 10:22 AM

Michael Phelps, the most decorated Olympian of all time, has set yet another record: he's the first American male swimmer to make five Olympic teams.

The 22-time Olympic medalist finished first in the 200-m butterfly with a time of 1:54.84, three seconds shy of his 2009 world record, at the U.S. Olympic trials held in Omaha, according to USA Today.

The win automatically secures his place on the U.S. squad and ticket to the 2016 Rio Olympics.
