Olivia Bray, the Texas sophomore who took seventh in the 100 fly at the NCAA Championships last season, recorded a time of 51.03 in the event to win by almost three seconds.

Men’s 400 IM
Texas’ Carson Foster is the second-fastest performer in history in the 400 IM at 3:35.27, behind only Chase Kalisz’s American record of 3:33.42, and Foster set himself up for a run at his first individual NCAA title with a dominant performance at the conference level. Foster recorded a performance of 3:37.72, well under his own meet record of 3:40.22 set last season. Foster currently ranks as the second-fastest performer in the nation, with his season best of 3:37.35 from December trailing only Arizona State’s Leon Marchand (3:35.62).
Last season, Foster finished second in the event at the NCAA Championships as Florida’s Bobby Finke ran him down on the last 100 yards. Later, Foster barely missed the Olympic team in the 400-meter IM with a third-place finish at Olympic Trials, but he rebounded to swim the fastest time in the world in the event later in the summer.
Jake Foster, Carson’s older brother, took second in 3:40.42, and Texas’ David Johnston took third in 3:43.61. Both Foster brothers, Johnston and Braden Vines, who was fifth at the conference meet, were all A-finalists in the 400 IM at the NCAA Championships last year, so Texas could have another big scoring run this time around.

Women’s 100 Breaststroke
It has been an impressive sophomore season for Texas’ Anna Elendt, and at the conference meet, she lopped more than a half-second off her lifetime best in winning the event. Elendt touched in 57.35, moving to third in the country behind NC State’s Sophie Hansson and Virginia’s Alexis Wenger, and she broke Breeja Larson’s decade-old Big 12 record of 57.51 (a mark set in the last season before Texas A&M departed the Big 12).
Texas will be welcoming 100-meter breast Olympic gold medalist Lydia Jacoby to the squad next season, and that will set up an incredible 1-2 punch for the Longhorns in the event.
Kansas’ Kate Steward was the only other swimmer to break 1:00 as she finished in 59.62, and third went to Iowa State’s Lehr Thorson in 1:00.87.
