Dylan Carter, after some big swims at the USA Swimming Winter National Championships last weekend, rushed home to Trinidad & Tobago, of which he represents internationally, for the country’s End of Year Short Course Trials, and on Friday broke a National Record.
Carter ended the night on Wednesday with a 3:50.05 in the 400 Short Course Meters Freestyle. That broke both the 15-17 record held by Josh Romany (3:58.41), as well as the National Record set by 2000 Olympian Sebastien Paddington back in 1996 (3:55.89).
Carter has spent the semester training with the USC Trojans, and his spike in results since coming to the United States in 2012 hasn’t slowed down.
work them hard coach huggies!!! no rest for those two!!
Fully intend to. Coaches back in the US expect them to hit the ground running upon return.
Dylan does not look 17 in any way, shape or form.
You could say about most of the HS juniors/seniors at Juniors. When you see him up close and in person, he’s no different than his peers.
He and Josh had a couple of good sessions this week. This morning they ended a 2400m set with a 200 where they both went 1:54’s scm.
Whoo Hoo!! My countryman doing big things! Congrats to him
