Another Carmel swimmer got the chance to go for a medal at the Tokyo Olympics late Tuesday night.
Drew Kibler, a Carmel graduate now swimming at the University of Texas, was part of the U.S. men’s 4×200 freestyle relay that competed in the finals of that event. The team eventually finished in fourth place in a time of 7:02.43, just missing the medals podium by 0.59 seconds.
Kibler swam the second leg of the relay, with his split at 1:45.51.
The United Kingdom won the gold medal with a time of 6:58.58. The Russian Olympic Committee was second at 7:01.81, followed by Australia at 7:01.84.
Kibler was the second Carmel swimmer to compete in an Olympics final over the past few days. Jake Mitchell swam in the 400 freestyle final Saturday night, placing eighth.
