PARIS — One of the Tri-State's top athletes continues to shine bright at the 2024 Olympic Summer Games in Paris, France.
Sycamore High School alum Carson Foster nabbed a silver medal after competing in the 4x200 relay on Tuesday. He had previously earned himself the bronze medal in the men's 400-meter individual medley (IM).
Foster, a Texas Longhorn, Mason native and product of the Mason Manta Rays swam the 400m IM in a time of 4:08.66 to secure the bronze medal in the highly competitive match. Foster finished .04 behind Matsushita Tomoyuki's 4:08.62, who is taking the silver medal back to Japan.
France's own Leon Marchand took home the gold when he completed the event in 4:02.95.
Foster secured himself the spot on the summer Olympic team after qualifying this past June at the U.S. Olympic Trials in Indianapolis.
He is just one of the Tri-State's Olympic athletes. A complete list is available here.
