Carson Foster Reacts to Aaron Shackell, Will Modglin Nat’l HS Records

2023 IHSAA BOYS HIGH SCHOOL STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS

Last night in Indianapolis, 2 national high school records were broken at the same meet. Coincidentally enough, both have an impact on Texas junior Carson Foster. Aaron Shackell, a Cal commit, broke Foster’s 200 Free record (1:32.99), clocking 1:32.85. Shackell will be a freshman at Cal next year when Foster is a senior at Texas.

Will Modglin, a Texas commit, after dropping a 20.8 50 back on the 200 medley relay, broke Olympic champion Ryan Murphy’s 100 back record (45.34) with a 45.08. This gives Foster target times to shoot for while leading off Texas’ medley relays until Modglin arrives on campus in the fall to take over backstroke duties.

I think Carson Foster’s brief but insightful statement about the future of Texas swimming, viz., the incoming classes for the next two years, will certainly allay some of the concerns expressed about the future of the team in a post-Eddie Reese mode. Bravo to Carson for a heartfelt set of comments.

We all know that C Foster did swim 1:32.99. However it appears that it was never recognized by NISCA. NISCA still has Drew Kibler as the public school 200Free record holder. NISCA is usually on top of these things if all the paperwork has been filed. Anyone care to explain?

Foster comes across well. You get the sense he actually means what he says, unlike some athletes who mostly just pay lip service to the appropriate sentiments.
