Bel Air swimmer Chase Kalisz edged in 400 IM at U.S. Olympic Trials but should get a chance to defend gold in Paris

INDIANAPOLIS — The first final of the night produced a first-time Olympian.

Carson Foster knocked off Tokyo gold medalist Chase Kalisz in the final of the 400-meter individual medley Sunday at the U.S. Olympic swimming trials.

But Kalisz, a Bel Air native and Fallston High School graduate, should get a chance to defend his gold in Paris, taking the runner-up spot to claim the expected second American slot.

Jay Litherland, the 400 IM silver medalist in Tokyo, missed out on his third Olympics with a third-place showing.
