Huske is considered the favorite in this event. She already holds the American record and has a good chance at setting the world record in Tokyo.
Her chosen style is called "Fly and die," meaning she goes all out in the first 50 meters of the race and then relies on her big lead to secure a victory.
Should Huske make it out of her heat, she'll then have to go through a semifinal leg before reaching the medal round on July 26.
