Little, who does his club swimming with Blue Tide Aquatics and owns the Junior National standard in the 200 free, placed seventh in the 50 free and 10th in the 100 free at the Southern Senior Championships in December. Last summer, he earned a best time at the Gulf Summer Championships before going on to take fifth in the 100m free at Southern Zone Seniors.

His best times include:

A current junior at Kingwood High School, Little has raced at the Texas 6A State Championships the last two years. He finished ninth in the 200 free and 11th in the 100 free as a sophomore while competing on his school’s 4×100 free relay during his freshman season.

Little has made significant improvements over the last two years, dropping nearly two seconds in the 50 free, four seconds in the 100 free, and 12 seconds in the 200 free.
