AUSTIN, Texas — University of Texas Men's Swimming freshman Carson Foster was named the Big 12 Conference Men's Swimming and Diving Newcomer of the Week, the league office announced Tuesday afternoon. Foster's selection completed a sweep of the season's first Big 12 weekly awards on the men's side, as junior Drew Kibler was previously named Swimmer of the Week and senior Jordan Windle claimed Diver of the Week accolades.
In his collegiate debut at the First Chance Invitational on Oct. 16, Foster set a U.S. national age-group record in the 400-yard individual medley.
