or
Kate Ledecky, 14 of Curl-Burke, broke 2 13-14 NAG yards records at the
5th Annual National Age Group Team Challenge held at the Germantown Indoor Swim Center Nov 12-13.
She broke a 33-year-old record in the 500 freestyle 4:35.14 held by Sippy Woodhead from 1978 4:39.94
Then she went 9:29.81 in the 1,000 free breaking Michelle Richardson's 9:33.39, from 1984
Katie has OT cuts in the 100, 200, 400 and 800 free & will definitely be one to watch at trials.

It's interesting that Georgia had their invitational meet the same weekend as Nationals just down the road in Atlanta. Of course the Georgia meet was SCY and Nationals was LCM.
Caitlin Leverenz competed in both meets. (Possibly others did too, but she's the only one that I noticed.)

Arianna Vanderpool Wallace was at both meets as well and was swimming against Natalie Coughlin in the 100 Free and went a :46.99 to lose by .15 in the race. She still has the US Open Record at :46.81 if that is any consolation.
There were 4 USMS National Records at the ATT Nationals and they were discussed on that thread.
Wow, a Sippy Woodhead NAG record falls. I figured it would never happen.
Pretty impressive the record stood for that long and then Ledecky smashed it by close to five seconds!
Can we do masters?
Andrea Block broke two SCM NRs at Long Beach this weekend in the 50-54 age group. 100 fly 1:08.6 (old Laura Val record) and 200 fly 2:33.+ :applaud:
Any other records broken at LB? I'm sure there must be.
RE Long Beach, Bob Strand took down the world records in the 100 *** (barely) and 200 *** (demolished). He seeded a 1:09.50 for the 100 IM which is under the world record (mine, BTW) but I don't know the results as that was the only event not posted in the results. He's ignoring my calls!
Bob had a major operation this summer. His performances at Long Beach are truely remarkable.
Wow those are some fast times for a 14 year old girl!!!! 4:35 500 free is very fast 55/100 ave. Nice!! Her splitting is also very impressive. Remove the first 20% of the race in both the 1,000 and 500 she descends by 100!
A few more National Age Group Records this past week-end:
11-12 Boys SCY
50 Free Andrew, Michael C 12 UN-MV 21.85
50 *** Andrew, Michael C 12 UN-MV 28.24
50 Fly Andrew, Michael C 12 UN-MV 24.05
He is from South Africa my native homeland :applaud:
Diann Uustal clobbered the WR in W65-69 200 SCM back this weekend at the South Carolina Championships meet in Columbia, SC*, posting a 2:53 & change**, versus the old mark of 2:55.02, by Margit Ohlsson of Sweden, which was set just this October 1st. Diann narrowly missed WRs in three other events, missing the mark in the 200 free by only 0.04***.
Diann and Margit Ohlsson have quite a duel going on, which should thrill all fans of the sport: They have traded WRs in the 50, 100 & 200 back several times. I don't think this happens all too often in masters swimming, but it is an epic battle and fun to watch! Here is what the world record progressions will look like shortly:
