All-Time Top Performers Men’s 400 IM

1. Leon Marchand, 3:28.82
2. Hugo Gonzalez, 3:32.88
3. Chase Kalisz, 3:33.42
4. Carson Foster, 3:33.79
5. Rex Maurer, 3:34.19

Maurer dropped almost four seconds off his previous best time of a 3:38.10 that he swam in March at the Pac-12 Championships. He went on to swim the event at 2024 NCAAs swimming a 3:44.58 for 30th. Maurer spent his freshman season at Stanford but was one of numerous transfers to Texas this offseason.

Tonight’s swim just missed the Texas school record of a 3:33.79 that Carson Foster swam at 2022 NCAAs.

The Texas men have been on a roll this weekend and the 400 IM continued that trend. The team had zero swims in the event at 2024 NCAAs. Maurer’s swim would have finished 2nd, only behind Leon Marchand, while David Johnston swam a 3:39.55, a time that would have been 7th.
