Career

[edit]At the age of 11, Curtiss caught the attention of SwimSwam who named him one of the "Weekly Wonders of Age Group Swimming" for his time of a 27.95 in the 50-freestyle, which was almost three seconds faster than his time from the year before.[8] He received the honor twice more, once in 2015 and once in 2016, both times for his performances in the 50-yard freestyle, 100-yard freestyle, and 100-yard backstroke.[9][10]
2018–2020
[edit]In April 2018, Curtiss swam a personal best time in the 50-yard freestyle with a time of 19.75. His time made him the fifth fastest American swimmer in US history in the event for boys in the 15–16 age group, ranking him behind fastest swimmer Michael Andrew and ahead of sixth fastest swimmer Caeleb Dressel.[11] He competed in three individual events at the 2019 National Championships in Stanford, California in July and August 2019. In the 50-meter freestyle he ranked 5th with a time of 22.25, in the 100-meter backstroke he ranked 91st with a 59.54, and in the 100-meter freestyle he swam a 51.49 and placed 94th overall.[12]

50 m freestyle | 22.14 |
At the 2019 World Junior Championships held in August 2019 in Budapest, Hungary, Curtiss competed representing the United States of America. In the semifinals of the 50-meter freestyle he swam a 21.95, advancing to the final and becoming the third fastest American swimmer in the 17–18 age group for the event behind Caeleb Dressel and Michael Andrew.[13] Curtiss finished second in the 50-meter freestyle with a time of 22.14, winning the silver medal in the event.[5] Later on, in September, Curtiss was one of six men named to the US National Team for their times earlier in the 2019 year in the 50-freestyle along with Nathan Adrian, Michael Andrew, Michael Chadwick, Caeleb Dressel, and Ryan Held.[14] His time of 21.95 seconds from the semifinals tied for fifth amongst men on the roster for the 2020–2021 US national team in the 50-meter freestyle.[15]
2020 High school swim season
[edit]In February 2020, Curtiss swam a 19.42 in the 50-yard freestyle for his high school team. His time broke the national independent (private) school record of 19.54 set by Ryan Murphy in 2012 and moved the national independent high school record closer to the national public high school record of 19.29 set by Caeleb Dressel.[16]

[edit]Leading up to the US Olympic Trials, where swimmers competed for a spot on the US Olympic Team at the 2020 Summer Olympics, Curtiss swam a personal best time of 21.87 in the prelims of the 50-meter freestyle at the 2021 TYR Pro Swim Series meet in Richmond, Virginia, which was the 5th fastest time in the world in January 2021.[17][18] He also swam a 51.14 in the 100-meter freestyle.[18]
2021 High school swim season
[edit]In February 2021, Curtiss swam a 19.77 in the 50-yard freestyle at a dual meet for his high school, capturing the attention of Swimming World who took note of it being a fast time for so early in the swim season.[19] On March 3, 2021, at a dual meet, Curtiss swam a 19.26 in the 50-yard freestyle breaking the national independent high school record he set at 19.42 the year before.[20] This moved him closer to the national high school secord, for both public and private high schools in the United States, of 19.20 set one week before Curtiss' swim.[21] Three days later, Curtiss swam a 19.11, which made him the fastest swimmer in the 50-yard freestyle in the history of American high school swimming, and switched the ownership of the national high school record in the event from a public high school swimmer to a private high school swimmer.[22][23]
2021 YMCA National Festival
[edit]At the virtual 2021 YMCA National Festival Championships meet held in March and April 2021, Curtiss swam personal bests and set new club records in five individual events for the Hamilton Y Aquatic Club including the 50-yard freestyle, 100-yard freestyle, 200-yard freestyle, 100-yard breaststroke, and 100-yard butterfly.[24] His new club record of 19.33 seconds in the 50-yard freestyle was also a new national YMCA record in the event.[24][25]
2020 US Olympic Trials
[edit]The 2020 US Olympic Trials were Curtiss' first Olympic Trials.[1] Curtiss competed in the 50-meter freestyle at the 2020 USA Swimming Olympic Trials in Omaha, Nebraska, which were postponed to June 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. On June 19, 2021, Curtiss swam a 22.34 in the prelims, ranking 13th overall and advancing to the semifinals later the same day.[26] In the semifinals, Curtiss ranked 8th with a time of 22.07 and advanced to the final.[27] The next day, June 20, 2021, Curtiss finished 6th in the final with a time of 22.12 and did not make the US Olympic Team for the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan.[28][29] Following his performances, Curtiss expressed he was not discouraged with his outcome at the meet, missing the 2020 US Olympic swim team, and was instead focusing his sights and energy on the 2024 Summer Olympics and his collegiate swimming career.[7][30]
National Team as part of the pack
[edit]His swims in the 50-meter freestyle leading up to and at the 2020 Olympic Trials were fast enough to earn him a spot on the 2021—2022 US National Team in the event.[31][32] Curtiss was one of six current NC State Wolfpack student athletes in swimming to be named to the year's national team.[33] Soon after, in October 2021 during his first season swimming for the Wolfpack, Curtiss placed second in the 50-yard freestyle with a time of 19.74 seconds in a dual meet against the Tennessee Volunteers.[34] On the first day of competition at the 2021 North Carolina State Invitational, November 18, Curtiss ranked fourth in the prelims heats of the 50-yard freestyle with a time of 19.55 seconds, which was over four tenths of a second behind first-ranked Andrey Minakov of Stanford who finished in 19.13 seconds.[35] Later in the day Curtiss swam a 19.54 in the finals, placing seventh overall.[36]
