Biography
Foster’s scholastic career came to a close by winning four gold medals at the Ohio High School Athletic Association Division I state championships. Jake set state records in the preliminaries, notching Ohio’s best times in the 200 individual medley and the 100 breaststroke before capturing gold later in the day in both events. His third and fourth golds came in the 200 medley and 400 freestyle relays where he teamed-up with his younger brother Carson, who is a top-rated junior. Combined, the brothers won eight gold medals and shared the meet’s Outstanding Swimmer Award.
Foster, who will attend the University of Texas on a scholarship, is a member of the USA Junior National team. Last summer, as part of the Mason Manta Rays swim team, he competed in the USA Swimming Phillips 66 Junior National Championships in Irvine, California, and earned the right to be a member of Team USA competing in the Junior Pan Pacific Games in Fiji. There he brought home a silver medal in the 400-meter individual medley. Foster is also a Scholastic All-American.
Foster was the Big 12 Champ in the 400 IM and was a runner-up in the 200 IM.
