Texas LCM Time Trial
- April 7-8, 2022
- Lee and Joe Jamail Texas Swim Center, Austin, TX
- LCM (50m)
The Texas men’s team held an LCM time trial this week as the U.S. International Team Trials are just weeks away. In what is likely a final tune-up before the Longhorns go attempt to land on the World Championships team for this summer, Carson Foster clocked a 1:46.3 200 free. Two weeks removed from the NCAA Championships, Foster’s time comes in under his official best of 1:46.67, which he swam at the U.S. Olympic Trials last summer.
After narrowly missing out on qualifying for the Olympic Team in multiple events last summer, Foster’s 200 free looks promising as we head into another selection meet. A low 1:46 would be a great benefit to the American men’s 4×200 free relay, and could even be fast enough to earn an individual event berth for Worlds.
Foster also swam the 400 IM, clocking in at 4:11. Foster swam the fastest time in the world last year, posting a 4:08.46 at a Speedo Sectionals meet in Austin.
Another notable swim came from David Johnston, who swam a speedy 15:09 in the 1500 free. Behind Olympic Gold medalist Bobby Finke, the U.S. men’s 1500 is fairly open, and Johnston’s time this week is promising as we head towards the U.S. selection meet.
Texas pro Shaine Casas swam a 1:57.3 200 back, coming in well under his top 2022 mark of 1:58.09.

I could smell these comments
Does he have to raise the hookem every time he races?
Does he have to raise the Hook’em every time he races??? Like stop?
This is a stock photo.
And regardless he is celebrating in the most harmless way possible, yet somehow you still care…
Or maybe….just maybe….. that’s a stock photo that they use over and over. Or maybe surely that’s just sarcasm on your part and not ignorance? Stop?
I’m really hoping he makes the team. 1:46.3 is likely going to be on the relay and if he can relax in prelims of the 4 IM and go sub 4:10 in finals, he could pick up that spot. He just needs to learn how to control for emotions and not panic during finals.
My top 4 for that 800 free relay this summer right now is. Smith, Kibler, Foster, and Urlando. I do think Carozza and potentially Dressel get top 6.
I’d like to think Grant House is in the running for top 6 too🙏
Ooh yeah I forgot about house yeah that 1:30 is very promising. Isn’t his best time like 1:47 as well?
Hope his Short Course time translates to long course, it doesn’t for everyone
Lot of fast swimming two weeks before trials though
Dude’s been 1:46, I’m pretty sure.
Awesome, we need more 1:45’s so maybe he can get there
No one cares. He chokes at every meet of any significance
Dude. What’s with the negativity toward a teenager trying to break through? Boo.
N. Sheldon’s thing is to say he doesn’t care about anything.
He thinks it’s cute.
agreed, but have you been around during michael andrews teenage years btw?
Fair point.
Coby Carrozza’s 147.3 and 3:51 are worth noting too! He’d been at 1:49 since 2019, I believe. He’s had a great year.
200 Free is pretty open now behind Kieran! Best of luck to Carson this summer.
52.6 fly for Kibler. That’s nice! A finals possibility. We didn’t see him do much fly at UT.
Same day as 200 free
