Lucas Henveaux Grabs 400 Free Title, Sets National Record in 100 Backstroke at Belgian Open Championships<\/strong><\/p>\n

A month after helping the Cal Golden Bears to a runnerup finish at the NCAA Championships, Lucas Henveaux<\/strong> claimed gold in the 400-meter freestyle at the Belgian Open Championships on Saturday. Henveaux won comfortably over the eight-lap event, touching the wall in 3:46.76. That performance was nearly 15 seconds faster than the 4:01.09 by runnerup Simon Laviolette<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

For good measure, Henveaux registered a Belgian record in the 100 backstroke while leading off the Liege Natation 400 medley relay. On the front of the relay, Henveaux went 54.26 to destroy the previous record of 55.01, set in 2023 by Stan<\/strong> Franckx<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Henveaux is the Belgian record-holder in the 400 freestyle, having gone 3:44.61 for fifth place at last year’s World Championships in Doha. Henveaux tied for 12th in the 400 free at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris and at last month’s NCAA Championships, he was the third-place finisher in the 500 freestyle, 1650 freestyle and 400 individual medley.<\/p>\n
