Yes ... the following lists those that broke an Olympic record in men's 100 meter freestyle swimming but did not win a medal: 1) Perry McGillivray of the United States set an Olympic record in preliminary heats at the 1912 Games in Stockholm. In the very next heat, Duke Kahanamoku broke that record and went on to win the gold medal. McGillivray was knocked out of the competition in the semi-finals. 2) Peter Fick of the United States set an Olympic record in preliminary heats at the 1936 Games in Berlin. Several heats later, Masaharu Taguchi of Japan set a new Olympic record. Neither man won a medal as Fick finished 7th and Taguchi finished 4th in the finals. 3) Reid Patterson of the United States set an Olympic record in preliminary heats at the 1956 Games in Melbourne. Jon Hendricks of Australia broke that record in the semi-finals and Patterson wound up finishing 4th in the finals. 4) Gary Ilman of the United States set an Olympic record in preliminary heats at the 1964 Games in Tokyo and then broke that record in the semi-finals. He finished 4th in the finals.
