The word on the street was that a couple Texas freshmen had their sights set on national age group records this weekend, and tonight didn’t disappoint, as Carson Foster knocked over two seconds off the 400 IM record with his time of 3:35.27. The record previously stood at 3:37.52, set by Andrew Seliskar in 2015. That’s also a lifetime best for Foster by over 3 seconds, eclipsing his 3:38.65 from last December.
Comparative Splits
| Foster 20 | Seliskar 15 | |
| Fly | 49.04 | 49.60 |
| Back | 53.93 | 54.80 |
| Breast | 1:00.92 | 1:01.30 |
| Free | 51.38 | 51.82 |
Foster outsplit Seliskar in each of the four strokes, including breast, where Seliskar is especially strong in short course swimming.

Even more impressively, Foster, just shy of his 19th birthday, is now the second fastest man of any age, ever, in the event, tailing only Chase Kalisz and his 3:33.42 from 2017.

Foster will most likely also be aiming at the 200 free NAG tomorrow. He comes into this meet with a lifetime best of 1:32.99, while the NAG stands at 1:32.18, held by former Longhorn Maxime Rooney.
Did I just watch a 400 IM sprint? Damn ginaaaaaaaaaa
Wow! St. Xavier High School should automatically be stripped of every single state championship they have won for allowing this talent to slip away
My opinion if Carson breaks 3:30 because of how he translates to LC I think he will have a crack at that world record.
DUDE!
For the nexr big record, Robert, can you use “incinerates” please?
I just realized for Carson to go under 1:30 he would have to basically go a best time at the 100 then have to hold the pace.
absolutely insane.
I thought that Rooney was at Florida when he set that NAG record.
