Currently a junior at Shoreham Wading River High School in Shoreham, New York, Louser is a strong IMer and breaststroker. He also represents Long Island Aquatic Club in competition.
Louser has quickly improved in the last year, earning victories in both the 200 IM (1:48.20) and 100 breast (55.07) at the 2018 NYSPHSAA Public Championships. Both times flirted with the current New York State records landing within half a second of each.
At the 2017 Winter National Championships, Louser cut some serious time from his 400 IM when he qualified for the A final and finished fourth with a 3:47.70. Also at the Winter National Championships, Louser lowered his best time in the 200 breast to a 2:01.30 before breaking the two-minute mark at the 2018 NCSA Spring Championships with a 1:59.32.
While at Cal, Louser will have the opportunity to train with fellow breaststroke star Reece Whitley, who joins the Cal Bears this upcoming fall.
