Alexandre Grand’Pierre, a rising senior at Bowdoin College representing Haiti at the Paris Olympics, did not qualify for the semifinals in the men’s 100-meter breaststroke on Saturday in Nanterre, France. Grand’Pierre finished fourth in his heat and 28th overall with a time of 1 minute, 2.85 seconds.

The top 16 swimmers advanced to the semifinals. Caspar Corbeau of the Netherlands swam the fastest time (59.04) in the opening round, while Americans Nic Fink (59.66) and Charlie Swanson (59.92) were 10th and 14th.

Grand’Pierre is the third member of his family to swim for Haiti in the Olympics, following older sisters Naomy (2016, Rio) and Emilie (2021, Tokyo).

The Atlanta native and dual citizen of Haiti and the United States is one of seven athletes – including one other swimmer – who are representing Haiti at the Summer Games. He sister, Naomy, 27, is the Haitian swimming team’s travel coach.

Grand’Pierre was named to a universality place on the Haitian team — awarded to athletes from nations with traditionally small delegations – after winning the 100 breaststroke with a time of 1:02.39 at the Central American and Caribbean (CCCAN) Swimming Championships in Monterrey, Mexico, in June.

He holds Haitian national records in the 50, 100 and 200 breaststroke, as well as the 200 individual medley. His best 100 breaststroke time (1:01.85) is a CCCAN record. Grand’Pierre also holds numerous Bowdoin and New England Small College Athletic Conference records. He was named an All-American in the 100 breaststroke after finishing fifth at this year’s NCAA Division III championships.
