Texas Swimmers Shine at Paris Olympics

Texas swimmers played a significant role in the U.S. team's silver medal win in the 4x200m freestyle relay at the 2024 Paris Olympics, with Luke Hobson, Carson Foster, and Drew Kibler contributing to the achievement. This win was a redemption for Kibler and Kieran Smith, who were part of the team that finished fourth in Tokyo three years earlier. The U.S. team finished with a time of 7:00.78, just behind Great Britain. Hobson also won bronze in the 200m freestyle, while Foster secured bronze in the 400m individual medley. Other notable performances include Ireland's Danielle Hill and Ellen Walshe, who did not advance in their respective events, and Alexandre Grand’Pierre of Haiti, who also missed the semifinals in the men's 100m breaststroke.
