Diann will be swimming the 100 back in the NE championships meet this week. Everybody cheer her on!!! Go USA!!!
She did it!!
Diann Uustal set a new WR today in W65-69 100 back, finishing in 1:17.95, breaking the old record of 1:18.81, set by Margit Ohlsson as recently as September 30. Diann also broke her own WR in the 100 IM, touching in 1:20.86
Here's an update for the table I posted upthread, what the world record progressions will look like shortly:
50m Backstroke Women Short Course
OHLSSON Margit SWE 36.58 21-03-2010
UUSTAL Diann USA 35.58 19-03-2011
100m Backstroke Women Short Course
OHLSSON Margit SWE 01:20.34 21-03-2010
UUSTAL Diann USA 01:19.08 19-03-2011
OHLSSON Margit SWE 01:18.81 30-09-2011
UUSTAL Diann USA 01:17.95 11-12-2011
200m Backstroke Women Short Course
OHLSSON Margit SWE 02:56.81 20-03-2010

OHLSSON Margit SWE 02:55.02 01-10-2011
UUSTAL Diann USA 02:53.36 04-12-2011
It ain't over! Margit's splits in the 200, on her way to her then WR 2:55.02, were 39.37 + 42.56 + 46.64 + 46.45 = 2:55.02. Clearly, Margit could split her race better. Who know how much faster she can go?! It ain't over!

www.swimmingworldmagazine.com/.../29036.asp know you are OCD about swimming when ...
You're a step ahead of Swimming World, fer gosh sakes. Swimming World wrote:
Diann Uustal was the star of the meet, setting three Masters world records in the 65-69 age group ...
100 IM: 1:20.86 (old record: 1:22.46)
50 free: 32.06 (old record: 32.25)
100 back: 1:17.95 (old record: 1:19.08)
Star of the meet, true enough, but only 2 WRs, not three. If Swimming World had checked the FINA web site, they would have noticed a new WR in the 50 free, as of Oct. 23 of this year:
STEVENSON Lynette AUS 31.82 23-10-2011
And also the 1:18.81 WR in the 100 back, by Margit Ohlsson, as noted upthread.
Coverage of Diann Uustal's records, Leslie Livingston's record, and a Maine Masters relay record
Fast weekend at BU! It was a treat to see Leslie swim in person.

It was pointed out on another thread that the Maine Masters Relay did not achieve any kind of record because they were categorized in the wrong age group. There ages add to 160-199, which is three age groups down from the 280-319 age group. With that said they would still be short of the 280-319 800 Free World Record of 10:28.15 that was recently swam at the Rowdy Gaines Masters Classic in Orlando, Florida.
2 of the oldest LC NAG records STILL on the books are:
15 & 16 boys 1500m FR 15:03.91 - Bobby Hackett, 1976^
13 & 14 boys 1500m FR 15:31.03 - Jesse Vassallo, 1976*
amazing they lasted through the suit era
Anyone notice that Kris Humphries, the basketball player who married (& is divorcing) Kim Kardashian holds the 10&u Boys NAGs in the
50 LCM FR 27.71 from 1995 &
100 LCM FR 1:02.39 also from 1995
Wonder how fast he could have been if he kept swimming?

It's worth noting that weeks earlier at the 76 Olympic trials, Hackett set a WR in the 800 free 8:01.54. Amazingly, this record was set during his 1500 swim!
